“Memory Stick” types
“Memory Stick” is a removable, compact data storage
card that can be used with digital still cameras and
personal computers. Still images stored in a “Memory
Stick” can be easily displayed, overwritten or deleted.
“Memory Stick” comes in two types: general purpose
“Memory Stick” and “Memory Stick” using the
MagicGate encryption technology to protect
copyrighted material, referred to as “MagicGate
Memory Stick”. This unit supports both types of
“Memory Stick”. However, because this unit does not
support the MagicGate standard, material recorded with
this unit is not protected by MagicGate.
In addition, you can also use “Memory Stick Duo” or
“Memory Stick PRO” with your unit.
Write-protecting “Memory Stick” data
In order to protect important data from accidental
erasure, the “Memory Stick” has a write-protect switch.
When the switch is in the left-hand position, data can be
written to or deleted from the “Memory Stick”, and the
“Memory Stick” can be initialized. When the switch is
in the right-hand position, data in the “Memory Stick”
can be read, but cannot be written. When inserting a
“Memory Stick” into this unit in order to read data, slide
the write-protect switch to the protected state.
Note
The write-protect switch position and shape varies
depending on your type of “Memory Stick”.
Reinitializing (formatting) “Memory Stick”
Before using your “Memory Stick” for the first time,
make sure that you use your digital camera to format it.
Formatting the “Memory Stick” with a device other than
your digital camera may make data on the “Memory
Stick” unreadable for the system.
Notes on using “Memory Stick”
• To use a “Memory Stick” insert it directly into the
“Memory Stick” slot of the system. Do not insert the
“Memory Stick” into a CompactFlash slot adapter, as
this may accidentally delete the data on the “Memory
Stick”.
• Do not remove the “Memory Stick” while reading or
writing data.
• Data may be corrupted in the following cases.
– When the “Memory Stick” is removed or the system
is turned off during read or write operation
– When the “Memory Stick” is used in locations
subject to static electricity or electrical noise
• Do not strike, bend, or drop the “Memory Stick”.
• Do not attempt to disassemble or modify the “Memory
Stick”.
• Do not get the “Memory Stick” wet.
• Avoid storing or using the “Memory Stick” under the
following conditions:
– In a hot location, such as inside a car or outside on a
very hot day.
– In direct sunlight.
– In a humid location or where corrosion occurs
easily.
• Do not touch the “Memory Stick” contacts with
anything, including your finger and metallic objects.
• Do not affix anything other than the supplied label to
the “Memory Stick” labeling position.
• Affix the supplied label so that it does not stick out
beyond the labeling position.
• Carry and store the “Memory Stick” in its case.
Notes on using “Memory Stick Duo” (not
supplied)
• Use a sharp object such as a ballpoint pen to move the
“Memory Stick Duo” write-protect switch.
• Some “Memory Stick Duo” are not equipped with a
write-protect switch. When using a “Memory Stick
Duo” without a write-protect switch, be careful not to
edit or erase data by mistake.
Notes on using “Memory Stick PRO”
This system does not support the access control security
function.
