What is “Memory Stick“?

“Memory Stick“ is a new compact, portable and versatile IC recording medium with a data
capacity that exceeds 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 used for external data storage.

One “Memory Stick“ can be used to save and use images recorded by another unit as well as the
voice messages using this unit.

Recorder

You can also use other “Memory Stick“ instead of the supplied “Memory Stick“ (16MB).

“MagicGate“ is a copyright protection technology that uses an encryption technology. This unit does not

This unit compresses voice data in “Memory Stick“ voice format (MSV format, extension .msv).
Voice data is saved in a VOICE folder in the “Memory Stick“ together with message list (MSF)
files that control voice data information (for example, the order of voice messages).

You can play back and edit voice messages recorded on a “Memory Stick“ on a computer using
the supplied “Memory Stick Voice Editor“ software. See page 38 for details.

Note

When you connect the “Memory Stick“ to your computer, you can check the contents using Windows Explorer.
