Main Features

● The DS-2000 digital voice recorder stores
highly compressed DSS audio files on
SmartMedia cards.

● The DS-2000 supports two recording
modes: SP (Standard Playback) mode and
LP (Long Playback) mode (☞ P.22). The
included 16MB SmartMedia card records
approximately 2 hours and 35 minutes* in
SP mode and approximately 5 hours and
30 minutes* in LP mode. An optional 128MB
SmartMedia card can hold up to 44 hours
and 40 minutes* of recordings.

● The Variable Control Voice Actuator (VCVA)
reduces memory usage by turning the
recorder off when it senses silence (☞ P.28).

● Recorded audio files can be stored in three
separate folders for easy identification at a
later time.

● The LCD screen displays file numbers, a
real-time counter, remaining recording time,
current time and date, operating mode, and
warnings in a clear format.

● The editing capability allows you to insert
additional recording into previously recorded
audio files (☞ P.20).

● In combination with IBM’s ViaVoice speech
recognition software (optionally available
from IBM), the voice data can automatically
converted to text.

* The recording time available may be shorter than

specified if a large number of short recordings are
made. (Use the remaining time and recorded time
only as references.)

SmartMedia

What is SmartMedia?

SmartMedia is a type of removable IC memory

SmartMedia

card. With more memory than a floppy disk,
SmartMedia cards facilitate data exchange with
personal computers, and can be used to store
data. Optional SmartMedia cards are available
to add capacity as needed, in addition to the
included 16MB SmartMedia card.

When purchasing SmartMedia cards of
various memory capacities, specify 3 V
(3.3 V) SmartMedia cards (in memory sizes
of 4, 8, 16, 32, 64 and 128MB) for the
Olympus CAMEDIA digital camera series.

Notes

• Commercial 5 V SmartMedia cards cannot be used.

• This product is compatible with SmartMedia cards

that have the copyright protection ID feature, and
with SmartMedia cards without the ID feature.
(Audio files recorded with this product are not
protected by copyright law.)

• 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 DS-2000 adheres
to a format recommended by the SSFDC Forum.

Memory Sizes of SmartMedia Cards
and Approximate Recording Times*

Memory Size SP Mode LP Mode

4MB 35 min. 1 hr.20 min.

8MB 1 hr.15 min. 2 hr.45 min.

16MB 2 hr.35 min. 5 hr.30 min.

32MB 5 hr.10 min. 11 hr.10 min.

64MB 10 hr.25 min. 22 hr.20 min.

128MB 22 hr.50 min. 44 hr.40 min.

* Recording time is calculated using a single audio

file recorded continuously. If audio files are recorded
intermittently, recording time may be shorter than
indicated.

Audio Recording Format

The DS-2000 stores highly compressed DSS
(Digital Speech Standard) audio files on
SmartMedia cards.

Write-protect SmartMedia

A write-protect seal (supplied with SmartMedia
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 write-

protect 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.

Notes

• Be sure to stop the recorder before replacing
the batteries. Unloading the batteries while the

recorder is recording, erasing or otherwise
accessing an audio 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.

• Remove the batteries if you are not going to use
the recorder for an extended period of time.

• Always stop recording before connection
or disconnection.

• When the AC adapter is not in use,
disconnect the power supply plug from
the power outlet.

• Use only the correct power supply voltage
as indicated on the adapter.

• Do not use the AC adapter when
connecting the recorder to the USB port.

If a SmartMedia card gets dirty, wipe it with a soft,
dry cloth.

• SmartMedia cards may be vulnerable to
electrostatic data corruption. When carrying a
SmartMedia card, put it in its case.

Recording

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 (☞ P.36, 37). Up to 199 messages can be recorded per folder.
Four recording modes are available: new, append, overwrite, and insert.

Using the Variable Control Voice Actuator (VCVA)

When the microphone senses that sounds have reached a preset volume, the built-in Variable
Control Voice Actuator (VCVA) starts recording automatically, and stops when the volume drops.
Particularly helpful for extended recording, the VCVA not only conserves memory by turning off
recording during silent periods, but also makes playback more efficient and convenient.

When the volume falls to a preset level or

The record/play lamp glows when recording
starts and flashes when recording pauses.

Using the VOLUME control, adjust
the start/stop actuation level.

The higher the VOLUME control is set, the
more sensitive the start/stop level becomes,
allowing recording to automatically begin at
a quieter level.

................................................................................................

Notes

• The start/stop actuation level also varies depending on the selected
microphone sensitivity mode (☞ P.21).

• To ensure successful recordings, prior testing and adjustment of the
start/stop actuation level is recommended.
