that confidential data will not be accessed or
erased by other people.
This product cannot read/write any data in a
“Memory Stick” locked by Access Control

to read/write data in such a medium, the
medium should be unlocked by the product
that locked it.

malfunction. If you use the memory select
function while the “Memory Stick” is
connected to any compatible device and
there is a malfunction, we will not honor
the guarantee.

• When using the memory select switch,
make sure to firmly move the switch to the
end. If you do not switch it completely, it
may cause a problem or malfunction.

• Check your memory selection on
“Memory Stick” before inserting it into
the Memory Stick slot of the compatible
device.

• When you use “Memory Stick” with
memory select function, you can choose
the type of memory by switching the
memory select switch. As the compatible
device will only access the memory
selected by you, note the following:
