About the “Memory Stick”

A “Memory Stick” is a compact, portable IC recording medium with a large data capacity.

You can use the following types of “Memory Stick” listed below on the VCR. However, we do not guarantee the operation of all types of “Memory Stick” on your VCR. (See the list below for more details.)

• This product cannot record or play data that uses

“MagicGate” technology. “MagicGate” is a

copyright protection technology that records and

transfers the contents in an encrypted format.

• This product is compatible with “Memory Stick

Micro” (“M2”). “M2” is the abbreviation for the

“Memory Stick Micro.”

• Still image format: Your VCR compresses and

records image data in the JPEG (Joint

Photographic Experts Group) format. The file

extension is “.JPG.”

• A “Memory Stick Duo” formatted by a

computer (Windows OS/Mac OS) does not have

guaranteed compatibility with your VCR.

• Data read/write speed may vary depending on

the combination of the “Memory Stick Duo”

and “Memory Stick Duo” compliant product

you use.

• You can prevent accidental erasure of images

when you slide the write-protect tab on the

“Memory Stick Duo” with a small tapered

object, to the write-protect position.

• Damaged or lost image data will not be

compensated for, and may occur in the

following cases:

– If you eject the “Memory Stick Duo,” turn the

power off on your VCR, or remove the battery

pack for replacement while your VCR is

reading or writing image files on the

“Memory Stick Duo” (while the access lamp

is lit or flashing).

– If you use the “Memory Stick Duo” near

magnets or magnetic fields.
