Installing the dedicated software

To use this unit as a USB audio interface with a Windows
computer, dedicated software must be installed on the
computer.
Download the latest software from the product page on the
TEAC Global Site (http://teac-global.com/).
Installing the dedicated software will install a driver and a
Settings Panel application.
ATTENTION
Before starting to install software, quit other applications.
NOTE
With a Mac, the standard OS driver will be used, so
installation of dedicated software is not strictly necessary. We
recommend installing this software, however, because it has
a notification function about updates for the unit firmware
and software.
Installing the Windows dedicated
software
Follow the procedures below to install the Windows dedicated
software.
ATTENTION
i Complete installation of the Windows dedicated software on
the computer before connecting the unit to it with the USB
cable.
i If you connected the unit to the computer using the USB
cable before installing the Windows dedicated software and
the "Found New Hardware Wizard" launched, close the Wizard
and disconnect the USB cable.
