Memory Stick

What is a Memory Stick?

"Memory Stick" is a new compact, portable and versatile IC (Integrated Circuit) recording medium with a data capacity that exceeds a floppy disk. "Memory Stick" is specially designed for digital data exchange among "Memory Stick" compatible devices. Because it is removable, the "Memory Stick" can also be used for external data storage.

There are two types of "Memory Sticks". One is the regular "Memory Stick" and the other is the "MagicGate Memory Stick" equipped with "MagicGate" copyright protection technology. "MagicGate" is a copyright protection technology that uses encryption.

1 MagicGate Memory Stick

Can be used for both copyright-protected and regular data.

2 Memory Stick

Can be used for regular data only.

➢ ◆ MagicGate Memory Sticks with copyright-protected data cannot be used in this unit.

Page 44

Memory Stick

Precautions on handling the "Memory Stick"

The Memory Stick works in the DVD MODE only.

1 Data can become corrupted in the following instances:

- When the "Memory Stick" is taken out or the power is turned off while using the DPM (Digital Photo Manager) or DAM (Digital Audio Manager) function.

- When using the "Memory Stick" in a location subject to static electricity or electric noise.

2 Memory sticks can only be read in this unit, not written. 3 Do not attach any other material than the supplied label on the label space. 4 Attach the label so that it does not stick out from the proper attachment location. 5 When moving or storing the "Memory Stick", use the storage case. 6 Do not touch the "Memory Stick" connector with your finger or metallic objects. 7 Do not bend, drop or apply strong shock to the "Memory Stick." 8 Do not disassemble or modify the "Memory Stick." 9 Do not allow the "Memory Stick" to get wet.

Page 45

Memory Stick

Precautions on attaching/removing the "Memory Stick"

1 If it is not fully inserted, until you hear an audible "click", the "Memory Stick" will not work. 2 If you inadvertently remove the "Memory Stick" or turn off the power while using the DPM (Digital Photo

Manager) or DAM (Digital Audio Manager) function, the recorded data may become corrupted.

3 To remove the "Memory Stick" during operation, see page 48 .

To format the "Memory Stick"

1 Do not format the "Memory Stick" using your computer. If you format the "Memory Stick" using the

computer, you cannot use it with "Memory Stick"compatible devices.

2 If you need to format the "Memory Stick," use a "Memory Stick" compatible device (If formatted, all data

previously recorded on the "Memory Stick" will be erased.)

3 If you use a "Memory Stick" that has been initialized using a computer or initialize a "Memory Stick"

attached to a camera using USB connection, further operation is not guaranteed.

4 Be careful not to optimize the "Memory Stick" from a computer running a Windows operating system.

The life of the "Memory Stick" will be shortened.

5 Do not compress the data recorded on the "Memory Stick."

A compressed file cannot be played back on this unit.

Software Compatibility

1 Depending on the type of application software used, the file size of a still image may become larger when it

is opened.

2 Depending on the type of application software used, only the first frame (thumbnail) of the clip motion file

may be displayed.

3 An image file that has been modified using an image processing software may not open if it is converted into

a different file format to play back with this product.
