Main Features

The DM-1 provides digital voice recording function and also functions as a digital music player function (P.11).

The DM-1 includes the Olympus Voice & Music DM-1 Utility Software, in which the DSS Player software and MusicMatch Jukebox are bundled together.

Connect the included USB cable to your computer for faster transmission speed.

Use the DM-1 as a SmartMedia Reader/Writer for fast exchange of other types of data.

The large LCD screen with backlight can be easily read in daylight or in the dark.

Main features of the Digital Voice Recorder

The DM-1 supports two recording modes.

• You can select SP (Standard Playback) mode or LP (Long Playback) mode (P.26). The included 64MB SmartMedia card can store approximately 10 hours and 20 minutes* of audio data recorded in SP mode, or approximately 22 hours and 10 minutes* of continuous LP mode recording. If you buy a 128MB SmartMedia card, you can store up to approximately 44 hours and 40 minutes* of continuous recording on it.

*This is the recording time possible for continuous recording of one file. File names and file-location information take up some storage space, so the actual total recording time that can be stored will slightly decrease as the number of files increases, becoming noticeable if a large number of short recordings are made. (Use the indicated remaining time and recorded time only as references.)

Can record and play audio files in DSS (Digital Speech Standard) format.

An audio signal converted to digital with high-quality data compression can be stored in DSS format.

The three folders can hold 199 files each,

for a maximum of 597 recordings (P.21).

You may assign folder names.

A folder name may consist of up to eight characters.

Recorded files may be moved from one folder to another.

Has a built-in Variable Control Voice

Actuator (VCVA) function (P.24-25).

You can insert or delete index marks (P.27).

If you insert index marks during recording or playback, you will later be able to quickly find the recording you want to hear.

Main features of the Digital Music Player

Can play back music files in MP3 or WMA format.

You can play back music files in MP3 or WMA format that you downloaded through the Internet or from audio CDs using the included MusicMatch Jukebox.

With one 64MB SmartMedia card, you can store approximately 50 minutes to 2 hours of music data. (The total storage time will vary depending on the bit rate of each music file.)

Uses a multidecoder system (P.60). Has built-in WOW (P.50-51).

WOW, a product of sound-compositing technology developed by SRS Labs, Inc., is installed. WOW produces surround sound with rich bass and sharp, clear sound contours.

You can change the playback equalizer settings (P.48).
