For details on the installation procedure, refer to the "Software Operation" section. When using the supplied software For detailed explanations, see the "Software Operation" section or online help. • Transfer audio data between the computer and the recorder The supplied SonicStage software enables you to transfer audio data between the recorder and the computer.
