Installing the driver and Settings
Panel
To use this unit with a Windows computer, a driver and Settings
Panel must be installed on it. To use this unit with a Mac, a driver
does not need to be installed, but the Settings Panel must be
installed in order to use the DSP mixer functions.
Download the latest driver and Settings Panel for the operating
system you are using from the TEAC Global Site (http://
teac-global.com/).
i When you install the driver on a Windows computer, the
Settings Panel will be installed at the same time.
i Only the Settings Panel needs to be installed on a Mac. This
unit can be operated with the standard Mac OS driver, so
there is no need to install a driver.
i When using this unit with an iOS device, the standard OS
driver will be used, so there is no need to install a driver or
Settings Panel.
CAUTION
Restarting the computer might be necessary after instal-
lation or uninstallation completes. Save your data and
conduct other necessary steps in other applications before
quitting them.
