8. 1394 connection with PC & Mac ( DMX-8631F only) :
DMX-8631F can be connected to PC (or Mac) through 1394
interface, and its CD-ROM and CD-RW drives will become external
IDE devices of that PC (or Mac). Both drives are identified.
PC (or Mac) must have 1394 host controller inside, together
with its driver installed.
Correction of Windows 98 SE :
* Note : Windows 98SE can identify only one external 1394 device,
so you need to download file 242975cht8.exe (for traidtional Chinese),
242975chs8.exe (for simple Chinese) or 242975usa8.exe (for
English) from http://www.microsoft.com/windows98/downloads/
contents/wurecommended/s_wufeatured/1394/license.asp and the
execution of this file can identify two drives. If you are using Win-
dows Me / 2000 / XP, both devices will be identified.
Run the downloaded program, :
Click “Yes”.

The DMX-8631U can be connected to PC or Mac through a
USB interface. A USB Storage Driver must be installed on your PC
(or Mac) before the connection is made. Detail about installation can
be found in next section.

also generated to allow you to remove the drive. This icon is displayed
at the lower right corner on the PC screen. At this moment, you can
use PC (or Mac) CD burning software such as CDcreator, Nero5.5,
(for PC) or Toast (for Mac) to write the CD. Remember to open
memory buffer of Nero to 63MB to get the best performance.
The procedures to disconnect with PC (or Mac) :
