When you memorize presentation material
converted by the Projector Station for
Presentation (supplied software) or a
picture file recorded by a digital camera in
the Memory Stick, you can easily make
effective presentations without a computer.
Presentation Viewer
After you have converted Microsoft
PowerPoint files by the Projector Station
for Presentation to a file which offers the
most advantages for projection on the
projector, you can make a slide show.
Picture Viewer
You can make the slide show or display on
the screen by using a JPEG still picture file
1)
(DCF
-compatible) recorded by a digital
camera and an MPEG1 movie file recorded
by Sony MPEG MOVIE etc. You can set
the effect of the slide when it is displayed,
and the way (automatic or manual) the slide
is exchanged.

systems
Digital Camera Mode
This unit can choose and display JPEG and
MPEG1 picture files recorded by a digital
camera (DCF-compatible) only from
among picture files stored in a Memory
Stick.
Autorun
When the Memory Stick with the picture
file for which the Autorun function is set by
the Projector Station for Presentation or in
Memory Stick Home is inserted in the
Memory Stick slot, the input is
automatically switched to Memory Stick
and the slide show starts.
Startup

picture file is projected for about 30
seconds. You can adjust the focus and
zoom without a signal from other
equipment.
You can also select the original picture or
the registered picture file in the Memory
Stick.

About a Memory
Stick
On Memory Sticks
Memory Stick is a new compact, portable
and versatile IC recording medium with a
data capacity that exceeds that of a floppy
disk. Memory Stick is specially designed
for exchanging and sharing digital data
among Memory Stick compatible
products. Because it is removable,
Memory Stick can also be used for
external data storage.
Memory Stick is available in two sizes:
standard size and compact Memory StickDuo size. Once attached to a Memory
Stick Duo adapter, Memory Stick Duo
reverts to the same size as standard
Memory Stick and thus can be used with
products compliant with standard Memory
Stick.
Types of Memory Sticks
Memory Stick is available in the
following six types to meet various
functional requirements.
• Memory Stick PRO
Equipped with the MagicGate copyright
protection technology and can be used
only with Memory Stick PRO
compliant products.

except copyright-protected data that
requires the MagicGate copyright
protection technology.
• Memory Stick (compatible with
MagicGate/high speed data transfer)
Equipped with the MagicGate copyright
protection and compatible with high
speed data transfer. This Memory Stick
can be used with the Memory Stick
compliant devices, MagicGateMemory Stick compliant devices, and
the Memory Stick PRO compliant
devices*. The projector is not compatible
with the high speed data transfer function
of this Memory Stick.
* Operation in all compliant devices are not
guaranteed.
• MagicGate Memory Stick
Equipped with the MagicGate copyright
protection technology.

support high speed data transfer using a
parallel interface.
Note on Memory Sitck (compatible
with MagicGate/high speed data
transfer)
Transfer speed when using Memory Stick
(compatible with MagicGate/high speed
data transfer) varies and is dependent upon
Memory Stick compliant products.
Note on memory capacity of
Memory Stick PRO
Memory Stick PRO features vary by and
are dependent upon the design of host
hardware devices.
Memory Stick PRO Media slot: The
projector

You can use both of the standard sizes of
Memory Stick and the sizes of Memory
Stick Duo by one slot. (You cannot use
both of the sizes of Memory Stick at the
same time.) When you use the sizes of
Memory Stick Duo, do not attach the
Memory Stick Duo Adaptor to them.
Do not insert the two or more MemoryStick into the slot at the same time or
insert the Memory Stick in the opposite
direction. It causes the malfunction of this
unit.

special standard. When you format
Memory Sticks, we recommend
formatting them on this unit.
Caution when formatting Memory
Sticks on a personal computer
Pay attention to the following points when
formatting Memory Sticks on a personal
computer.
Operation of Memory Sticks formatted
on a personal computer is not guaranteed
on this unit. To use a Memory Stick that
has been formatted on a personal computer,
the Memory Stick must be reformatted on
this unit. If it is not reformatted, all data
stored on Memory Stick will be lost.
Notes on image data compatibility
Image data files saved to a Memory Stick
by using the software conforming to the
Design Rules for Camera File Systems
universal standard established by JEITA
(Japan Electronics and Information
Technology Industries Association).
JPEG files converted by Adobe Photoshop,
etc. must be converted to JPEG format
(DCF-compatible) again by the Projector
Station for Presentation.
Access Lamp
