Problems occurring only in Macintosh

Cannot install the driver correctly

• Is the CD-ROM correctly inserted into your CD-ROM drive?

Installation is not possible unless the CD-ROM included with the DR-880 is inserted in your

CD-ROM drive. Make sure that the CD-ROM is correctly inserted into your CD-ROM drive.

• Is the CD-ROM or the lens of the CD-ROM dirty?

If the CD-ROM or the lens of the CD-ROM drive is dirty, the installer may not work correctly. Clean

the disc and/or lens using a commercially-available CD cleaner or lens cleaner.

• Are you installing the software from a networked CD-ROM drive?

The software cannot be installed from a networked CD-ROM drive.

• Is there sufficient free space on your hard disk?

Delete unneeded files to increase the amount of free space. After deleting the unneeded files, empty

the recycling bin.

• Is the DR-880 connected correctly?

Make sure that the USB connector of your computer is connected to the DR-880 by a USB cable.

• Is the power of the DR-880 turned on?

• The power switch of the DR-880 may have been set to the USB position.

Make sure that the power switch of the DR-880 is set to the DC position. Do not use bus power

while installing the driver. Check this, and if you are using Windows, close the Sound and

Multimedia Properties dialog box (Sounds and Audio Devices Properties in Windows XP, and

Multimedia Properties in Windows 98), re-open the same dialog box once again, and specify the

MIDI input/output destinations.

• Re-install the DR-880 driver as described in “Installing & Setting Up the Driver (Windows)”

(p. 2). Also check whether there is any “Other devices” in “Device Manager” or “Unknown

device” in “Universal Serial Bus Controllers”. If you find any, delete them.

• Is OMS or FreeMIDI installed?

In Mac OS 9, the DR-880 driver cannot be installed unless OMS or FreeMIDI are installed. Please

install OMS or FreeMIDI. ( ➔ “Installing & Setting Up the Driver (Macintosh)” (p. 13))
