Precautions on the co-existence of SonicStage Ver. 1.5 with OpenMG Jukebox Ver.2.2 or SonicStage Premium • Make sure the OpenMG Jukebox Ver.2.2 icon is not displayed in the task tray. If it is, the Net MD may not be recognized by your computer. • Audio data recorded on the computer are stored in a common file and used by both applications. Therefore, if you delete an audio file (e.g., one album) in one application, it will be deleted in the other software as well. Precaution on using a computer on which OpenMG Jukebox Ver.1.0-2.1 or SonicStage Ver.1.0-1.2 is installed Make sure not to replace SonicStage Ver.1.5 with OpenMG Jukebox Ver.1.0-2.1 or SonicStage Ver.1.01.2., as all audio data in the Music Drive may be lost. If you begin the installation of OpenMG Jukebox Ver.1.0-2.1 or SonicStage Ver.1.0-1.2 by mistake, stop the installation immediately. Note on hard disk drive space 120 MB or more free space on the hard disk drive is required. If your computer does not have enough space, the software will not be properly installed. The required free space differs according to the version of your Windows OS, or the amount of audio files that you handle. Notes on system suspend/hibernation mode • If the computer changes to system suspend/hibernation mode during the recording of a CD or the checking in/out of a data file, the audio data may be lost or the computer may not wake up properly. The computer suspend/hibernation function should therefore be turned off. • If you change the media while the computer is in system suspend/hibernation mode, audio data may be lost after the computer wakes up. • If the computer changes to system suspend/hibernation mode, the computer may not recognize the Net MD when it wakes up. If this happens, disconnect the USB cable and reconnect it again. Backing up the audio data Before doing any procedure that may affect the operating system itself (such as a system recovery), you should back up all of your audio data with the [SonicStage backup tool] from the [Start] - [Programs] - [SonicStage]. 105

Precautions on the co-existence of SonicStage Ver. 1.5 with OpenMG Jukebox

Ver.2.2 or SonicStage Premium

•

Make sure the OpenMG Jukebox Ver.2.2 icon is not displayed in the task tray. If it is, the Net MD may

not be recognized by your computer.

•

Audio data recorded on the computer are stored in a common file and used by both applications.

Therefore, if you delete an audio file (e.g., one album) in one application, it will be deleted in the other

software as well.

Precaution on using a computer on which OpenMG Jukebox Ver.1.0-2.1 or

SonicStage Ver.1.0-1.2 is installed

Make sure not to replace SonicStage Ver.1.5 with OpenMG Jukebox Ver.1.0-2.1 or SonicStage Ver.1.0-

1.2., as all audio data in the Music Drive may be lost. If you begin the installation of OpenMG Jukebox

Ver.1.0-2.1 or SonicStage Ver.1.0-1.2 by mistake, stop the installation immediately.

Note on hard disk drive space

120 MB or more free space on the hard disk drive is required. If your computer does not

have enough space, the software will not be properly installed. The required free space

differs according to the version of your Windows OS, or the amount of audio files that you

handle.

Notes on system suspend/hibernation mode

•

If the computer changes to system suspend/hibernation mode during the recording of a

CD or the checking in/out of a data file, the audio data may be lost or the computer may

not wake up properly. The computer suspend/hibernation function should therefore be

turned off.

•

If you change the media while the computer is in system suspend/hibernation mode,

audio data may be lost after the computer wakes up.

•

If the computer changes to system suspend/hibernation mode, the computer may not

recognize the Net MD when it wakes up. If this happens, disconnect the USB cable and

reconnect it again.

Backing up the audio data

Before doing any procedure that may affect the operating system itself (such as a system

recovery), you should back up all of your audio data with the [SonicStage backup tool]

from the [Start] - [Programs] - [SonicStage].
