BBefore You Begin  
What is the Memory Stick IC recorder?  
The Memory Stick IC recorder enables you to record and play back oral  
messages recorded on a Memory Stick.  
z Recording  
When a new message is recorded, it is automatically added after the last  
recorded messages.  
Unlike with tape recorders, you do not need to worry about recording  
over previously recorded messages by mistake.  
Since you do not need to search for the end of the last recording, you can  
start recording quickly whenever you wish.

z Playback  
Unlike with tape recorders, you do not need to rewind the tape. With this  
IC recorder, you can quickly locate the message you want to play back.  
Reviewing the current recording is also very easy.  
z Erasing  
You can quickly erase unwanted messages with an easy operation. When a  
message is erased, the next message automatically advances, leaving no  
blank space.

What is “Memory Stick“ ?  
z 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.  
z
The type of “Memory Stick“ you can use with this IC Recorder  
You can also use other “Memory Stick“ instead of the supplied “Memory  
Stick.“ The maximum recording time varies depending on the capacity of  
the “Memory Stick“.  
You can also use “MagicGate (MG) Memory Stick“ the same as “Memory  
Stick“.  
Note  
“MagicGate“ is a copyright protection technology that uses an encryption  
technology. This unit does not support the MagicGate standard, therefore,  
recorded data using this unit is not subject to the protection of copyrights by  
MagicGate.

z On file format  
This unit compresses voice data in Memory Stickvoice format (MSV  
LPEC format: extension .msv). Voice data is saved in a VOICE folder in the  
Memory Sticktogether 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 2software.  
See page 63 for details.  
Note  
When you connect the Memory Stickto your computer, you can check the  
contents using Windows Explorer. But use the supplied Memory Stick Voice  
Editor 2software to play back and edit messages.  
z Notes on using a Memory Stick“  
Recorded data may be lost or damaged in the following situations:  
If you remove the "Memory Stick", turn the power off, or detach the  
battery for replacement when accessing.  
If you use the "Memory Stick" near static electricity or electrical noise.  
We recommend backing up important data.  
z About formatting of a Memory Stick“  
The supplied Memory Stickis already formatted in FAT format. Use  
Memory Stickcompatible devices to format a Memory Stick. To  
format using this unit, see page 56.  
Note  
If you format the Memory Stickusing the computer, further operation with  
this unit is not guaranteed.  
Backup recommendations  
To avoid potential risk of data loss caused by accidental operation, damage  
of the Memory Stick, or malfunction of the IC recorder, we recommend  
that you save a backup copy of your recorded messages on a tape recorder  
or to a computer, etc.  
You can transfer and save the messages in the Memory Stickto your  
computer using the supplied Memory Stick Voice Editorsoftware.

Starting Recording Automatically in Response to the Sound  
— Advanced VOR function  
When the VOR (voice operated recording) function is set to on in the  
menu, recording starts when the recorder detects sound and stops when  
no sound is heard.  
When you record messages with VOR set to ON, the recording pauses  
when no sound is detected, and “VOR REC PAUSE” appears in the  
display window. You can change the VOR setting with the menu during  
recording (page 59).  
Note  
VOR function is affected by the sound around you. Set the MIC SENS to either  
H or L according to the recording conditions. If recording is not satisfactory  
after you have changed the microphone sensitivity, or for important recording,  
set the VOR to OFF.  
To select the recording mode (SP/LP)  
You can select the recording mode by setting MODE in the menu (page  
60). LP mode is suitable for long time recording as a meeting. But if you  
wish to record for better tone quality, then SP mode is suitable for this  
purpose. (Usually, SP mode is suitable for recording.)  
To select the microphone sensitivity  
You can select the microphone sensitivity by setting the MIC SENS in the  
menu to H (high) or L (low) according the recording conditions (page 59).  
You can change the MIC SENS setting with the menu during recording.  
To monitor the recording  
Connect the supplied ear receiver to the EAR jack. You can adjust the  
volume with VOL +/– , but the recording level is fixed.  
Note  
If you turn up the volume excessively or place the ear receiver near the  
microphone while monitoring recording, the microphone may pick up the  
sound from the ear receiver, causing acoustic feedback (howling sound).

During recording, the remaining memory indicator decreases one by one.  
You can check the remaining recording time by changing to the remaining  
time display mode (page 53).  
If the “Memory Stick” contains files other than sound data, the amount of  
those files is subtracted from the remaining memory amount. To check the  
remaining recording time, use the menu to switch the display mode to the

About the minimum recording unit  
For recording a message or adding an index or a folder, the time of the  
minimum recording unit is needed. Although the actual recording time of  
a message may be less than that of the minimum recording unit, the time  
of the message is counted as a minimum recording unit.  
If the remaining recording time of the inserted “Memory Stick“ is less than  
that of the minimum recording unit, you cannot add an index or a folder in  
the “Memory Stick“.

About the maximum recording time and the maximum  
number of messages or folders  
A “Memory Stick“ saves not only recorded messages but also the  
information about indexes and the number of folders. Therefore, as the  
number of messages or folders increases, the amount of memory in the  
“Memory Stick“ decreases.  
The maximum recording time and the number of messages or folders  
varies depending on this.  
However, only in the case that you recorded up to the maximum recording  
time, you can add up to two indexes. This means you can divide a message  
into three parts and delete the unnecessary part in the message that was  
recorded up to the maximum recording time.
