Main Features
● The DM-1 provides digital voice recording function and also functions as a digital music player
function (→ P.11).
● The DM-1 includes the Olympus Voice & Music DM-1 Utility Software, in which the DSS Player
software and MusicMatch Jukebox are bundled together.
● Connect the included USB cable to your computer for faster transmission speed.
●
Use the DM-1 as a SmartMedia Reader/Writer for fast exchange of other types of data.
● The large LCD screen with backlight can be easily read in daylight or in the dark.
Main features of the Digital Voice Recorder
● The DM-1 supports two recording modes.
• Y ou can select SP (Standard Playback) mode or
LP (Long Playback) mode (→ P .26). The included
64MB SmartMedia card can store approximately
10 hours and 20 minutes* of audio data recorded
in SP mode, or approximately 22 hours and 10
minutes* of continuous LP mode recording. If you
buy a 128MB SmartMedia card, you can store
up to approximately 44 hours and 40 minutes*
of continuous recording on it.
* This is the recording time possible for
continuous recording of one file. File names and
file-location information take up some storage
space, so the actual total recording time that
can be stored will slightly decrease as the
number of files increases, becoming noticeable
if a large number of short recordings are made.
(Use the indicated remaining time and recorded
time only as references.)
● Can record and play audio files in DSS
(Digital Speech Standard) format.
• An audio signal converted to digital with high-quality
data compression can be stored in DSS format.
● The three folders can hold 199 files each,
for a maximum of 597 recordings (→ P.21).
● Y ou may assign folder names.
•A folder name may consist of up to eight
characters.
4
● Recorded files may be moved from one
folder to another.
● Has a built-in Variable Control Voice
Actuator (VCVA) function (→ P.24-25).
●
You can insert or delete index marks ( → P.27).
• If you insert index marks during recording or
playback, you will later be able to quickly find
the recording you want to hear.
Main features of the Digital Music Player
● Can play back music files in MP3 or WMA
format.
• You can play back music files in MP3 or WMA
format that you downloaded through the Internet
or from audio CDs using the included MusicMatch
Jukebox.
• With one 64MB SmartMedia card, you can store
approximately 50 minutes to 2 hours of music
data. (The total storage time will vary depending
on the bit rate of each music file.)
● Uses a multidecoder system (→ P.60).
● Has built-in WOW (→ P.50-51).
•WOW, a product of sound-compositing
technology developed by SRS Labs, Inc., is
installed. WOW produces surround sound with
rich bass and sharp, clear sound contours.

SmartMedia
What is SmartMedia?
SmartMedia is a type of removable IC memory
card. With more memory than a floppy disk,
SmartMedia cards facilitate data exchange
with personal computers, and can be used to
store data.
SmartMedia that can be used with
the DM-1
If the included 64MB SmartMedia card is not
enough, please purchase another SmartMedia
card.
The following types of SmartMedia cards can
be used with the DM-1.
Voltage: 3.3 V or 3V
Memory Size: 4MB*, 8MB*, 16MB, 32MB,
64MB, 128MB
When using the DM-1 as a digital music player,
for copyright protection, a SmartMedia card
without an ID function cannot be used.
* Many of the 4MB and 8MB SmartMedia cards
available in stores do not have the ID function.
Notes
• Commercial 5 V SmartMedia cards cannot be used.
• When using the DM-1 as a digital voice recorder, a
SmartMedia card without an ID function can be
used, since this does not involve copyrighted
recordings.
• Never use SmartMedia cards with products that
are not compliant with the SSFDC Forum*
(including certain models of MP3 players).
* The SSFDC Forum is a voluntary organization
committed to promoting SmartMedia as a de facto
standard in the industry. The DM-1 adheres to a
format recommended by the SSFDC Forum.

64MB10 hr. 20 min.22 hr. 10 min.
128MB20 hr. 50 min.44 hr. 40 min.
* Recording time is calculated using a single speech
file recorded continuously. If speech files are
recorded intermittently, recording time may be
shorter than indicated.

(when the bit rate is between 160 kbps and 64 kbps)
**The possible recording time varies depending on
the bit rate of the music files. For example, a file
with a higher bit rate produces better sound quality;
however, the total possible recording time with such
files will be shorter.

Identification of Parts
Write-protect SmartMedia
A write-protect seal (supplied with SmartMedia
SmartMedia / Identification of Parts
card) can be attached to a SmartMedia card
to guard against accidental recording, erasing,
and formatting.
Write-protect
area
Attach the write-protect seal to the write-protect
area to prevent valuable data from being
erased accidentally.
Remove the write-protect seal before
recording or erasing.
Notes
• Attach the write-protect seal to the write-protect
area carefully, without letting the seal stick out, lift,
or peel.
• Do not use commercial seals.
• Write-protect seals cannot be reused.
• A dirty write-protect seal may disable the writeprotect feature. Wipe it with a soft, dry cloth.
• A SmartMedia card with a write-protect seal
attached to it may not be write-protected when
using the card with other products.
• Be sure to set the POWER/LOCK switch to OFF position when replacing batteries. Unloading the
batteries while the recorder is recording, erasing or otherwise accessing an audio or a music file may
corrupt the file.
• Be sure to replace both batteries at the same time.
• Never mix old and new batteries, or batteries of different types and/or brands.
• If it takes longer than 3 minutes to replace dead batteries, the internal rechargeable backup battery will
be exhausted, so you may have to reset the time when you load fresh batteries (→ P.14-15).
• Remove the batteries if you are not going to use the recorder for an extended period of time.

Replacing batteries
The battery indicator on the display changes as the batteries
lose power.

The recorder provides three folders, A, B, and C, and each message recorded in a folder is
saved as a Digital Speech Standard (DSS) file. These three folders can be selectively used to
distinguish the kind of recording; for example, folder A might be used to store private information,
while folder B might be dedicated to holding business information. Up to 199 messages can be
recorded per folder.

Managing Files on Your PC
By connecting the DM-1 to your PC, you will be able to use DSS Player in the following ways:
• To play the voice files from your PC.
• You can send voice mail by sending an attached voice file with e-mail.*
• You can make backup files of the voice files on the SmartMedia card on your PC, and can later
transfer files on your PC to the DM-1, as necessary.
* The e-mail software is not included in this package.
Precautions when handling SmartMedia files on your PC
● Do NOT format the SmartMedia card
using your PC. If you do, the DM-1 will
not be able to recognize the SmartMedia
card. Only format the cards using either

digital camera (→P.55).
● The folder names that can be set with
the DM-1 or the included DSS Player
are only effective for the DM-1 and DSS
Player. Note that the default names on
Microsoft Windows' file management
software such as Explorer will be
different names.
● If you change or move around the
filenames on the SmartMedia using a
file-management tool such as Explorer,
note that the order of the files may
change and/or you may not be able to
recognize the files.
● Even if you use your PC and set the
SmartMedia card for read only, you will
still be able to read from and write to
the SmartMedia using the DM-1.

Notes
• The bit rates for playback possible on the DM-1
are 32 kbps to 160 kbps for both the MP3 and WMA
format.
• When playing back a file with a bit rate below 64
kbps, the displayed time may not be accurate.
• It is possible to play back files with different bit rates
(converting the bit rate within one file); however,
the displayed time may not be accurate.
• When using the earphones, do NOT set the volume
too high. Listening at very high volume may lead
to hearing loss.
• It is possible to listen to music without the
earphones, using the internal speakers; however,
the sound will be in mono, not stereo.
• If neither the title nor artist name was recorded,
“UNKNOWN” will be displayed on the screen.
• You may use alphanumerics and symbols except
for #, $, @, [, ], \, _, |, ', ^, {, and } for the title and
artist names.
• You may use alphanumerics and symbols except
for #, $, @, [, ], \, _, |, ', ^, {, and } for the filenames.
(Any lowercase letters you use in filenames will
appear as capitals.)
• If the filename consists of more than 9 characters,
it will be shortened on the display (example:
FILEABCDE becomes FILEA~1).
• It is possible to record up to 30 characters each for
the title and artist name.
