About Bit Rates
In OpenMG Jukebox, the bit rate for recording an audio CD can be chosen from
among 132 kbps/105 kbps/66 kbps. The sound quality and available recording
time after the conversion will be different depending on the selected bit rate. A
Higher value makes the sound quality better, but the size of the recorded data
file will be bigger thus shortening the total check-out time available on your
CLIE handheld.
Likewise, a lower value means lower sound quality, but lengthens the total
check-out time available on your CLIE handheld.
When you use an optional 128 MB ”MG Memory Stick” media, you can record
for approximately the following length of time:
• When you record at 132 kbps: approx. 120 min.
• When you record at 105 kbps: approx. 160 min.
• When you record at 66 kbps: approx. 240 min.

Notes on “Memory Stick” media
What is “Memory Stick” media?
“Memory Stick” media is a new compact, portable and versatile
Integrated Circuit recording medium with a data capacity that exceeds
that of a floppy disk. The “Memory Stick” media is specially designed
for exchanging and sharing digital data among “Memory Stick” media
compatible products. Because it is removable, a “Memory Stick” media
can also be used for external data storage.
Types of “Memory Stick” media
There are two types of “Memory Stick” media:
–“MagicGate Memory Stick” media (hereafter referred to as MG
Memory Stick) (white) that is equipped with “MagicGate” copyright
protection technology.
–“Memory Stick” media (purple) that is not equipped with
“MagicGate” copyright protection technology.
To play ATRAC 3 format audio files that are recorded or converted by
OpenMG jukebox software on your CLIE handheld, you have to use a
“MagicGate Memory Stick” media. Be sure to use “MG Memory Stick”
media with the

Notes on “Memory Stick” media
What is “MagicGate”?
“MagicGate” is a copyright protection technology for the “MG Memory Stick”
media and compliant products, such as your CLIE handheld. Authentication
ensures that protected content is transferred only between compliant devices
and an “MG Memory Stick” media, and that protected content is recorded and
transferred in an encrypted format to prevent unauthorized copying or
playback.
Notes on use
To avoid damaging data, do not
• remove the “Memory Stick” media or unplug the AC power adaptor
during reading or writing of data.
• use the “Memory Stick” media in a location subject to static
electricity or electric noise.
TOC reading time depends on the number of songs
When you start Audio Player, the application starts reading the TOC
information including the song name, artist name and so on of the
“Memory Stick” media.
Depending on the number of songs stored in the “Memory Stick”
media, it may take a few seconds to do this. You cannot operate Audio
Player while it is reading the TOC information; this is not malfunction.
On formatting the “Memory Stick” media
The “Memory Stick” media is shipped with a FAT format as the
standard format.
To format the “Memory Stick” media, please use devices compatible
with the “Memory Stick” media. For details, refer to the Operating
Instructions manual.
Note
If you format your “Memory Stick” media using your computer, further
operation with your CLIE handheld is not guaranteed. Format the “Memory
Stick” using the CLIE handheld according to the procedures in the Operating
Instructions manual.

Differences between the HotSync operation and the
check-in/out procedure
The check-in (transferring digital audio files to your computer)/out
(transferring digital audio files to your CLIE handheld) procedure
differs from the HotSync operation in several ways.
When you perform the HotSync operation
• Since the HotSync Manager of the Palm Desktop for CLIE software
manages the operation, the computer recognizes your CLIE
handheld as a Palm OS compatible handheld.
• You can perform the HotSync operation even when your CLIE
handheld is turned off.
• The data transfer starts when you press the HotSync button on the
cradle.
When you perform the check-in/out procedure
• Since the OpenMG Jukebox software manages the operation, the
computer recognizes your CLIE handheld as a USB Mass storage
device.
• You cannot perform the check-in/out procedure if your CLIE
handheld is turned off.
• Pressing the HotSync button will stop the data transfer.

Note
You cannot move, copy, delete or transfer DCF format image files using the MS

using PictureGear Pocket, and save them to your CLIE handheld.
Notes on DCF format
• DCF (Design rule for Camera File system) is an industry standard format for
storing image files established by JEIDA (Japan Electronic Industry
Development Association).
• Using the PictureGear Pocket application, you cannot view image files shot
by a device that does not support the DCF format such as the Sony digital
video camera recorder DCR-TRV9000 or Sony digital still camera DSC-D700/
D770.
• DCF format image files are stored in the DCIM directory of the “Memory
stick” media.
• PictureGear Pocket displays thumbnail images (160 by 120 pixels) of DCF
format image file. Therefore, the display quality is inferior to the real picture.
• In order to display clearer pictures with PictureGear Pocket, it is
recommended that you use PictureGear Lite on your computer when
converting the image files to PGP format before storing them in a “Memory
stick” media.

What you can do with MS Autorun
application
“Memory Stick” Autorun (hereafter referred to as MS Autorun) is an
add-on application which allows your CLIE handheld to copy and
start a specified application automatically when “Memory Stick”
media is inserted into the CLIE handheld. Removing the “Memory
Stick” media automatically deletes the application copy from the
memory of the CLIE handheld. MS Autorun functions as virtual
memory to effectively utilize the memory of the CLIE handheld.
Starting an application (.prc) on the CLIE handheld automatically
When you use a digital still camera that is compatible with “Memory
Stick” media, you can view your images by inserting the “Memory
Stick” media into the CLIE handheld. In this example, you would use
the auto-run setting to start the PictureGear Pocket application on your
CLIE handheld.
Starting an application (.prc) in a “Memory Stick” media
automatically
This setting is for automatically starting an application which does not
access any data, such as game applications, or an application which
accesses data in the CLIE handheld (not in the “Memory Stick” media).
Starting a pre-selected application (.prc) and related database
files (.pdb, .prc) in a “Memory Stick” media*
This setting automatically displays a specific image or file with an
application such as an image viewer or a document reader. You need
to specify an application and the related database files before using
this auto-run setting.
Starting an application (.prc) on the CLIE handheld automatically
with specific database files (.pdb, .prc) from a “Memory Stick”
media*
This setting is used when the application is located on the CLIE
handheld and the corresponding database files are located on a
“Memory Stick” media. You can also display the desired data
automatically by inserting the “Memory Stick” media into your CLIE
handheld.
* If you specify PictureGear Pocket as an auto-run application, tap the arrow V
on the top center of the screen in PictureGear Pocket to select “MS.” Likewise,
if you specify gMovie player as an auto-run application, tap the movie file
you want to play.

Notes
• We do not recommend using MS Autorun with the Address Book, Date Book,
To Do List, Memo Pad, Calculator or Mail application. Problems may occur if
the data of these applications do not reside on your CLIE handheld when you
perform HotSync operation.
• The specified application may not start automatically depending on the
application in use when you insert the “Memory Stick” media into your CLIE
handheld. In this case, return to the home screen, and then insert the Memory
Stick media again.
You do not have to install MS Autorun on your CLIE
handheld
The MS Autorun application is factory pre-installed, you do not have
to install it.
