What is Memory Stick media?

Memory Stick media is a new compact, portable and versatile Integrated

Circuit recording medium with a data capacity that exceeds that of a floppy disk. The Memory Stick media is specially designed for exchanging and sharing digital data among Memory Stick media compatible products.

There are two types of Memory Stick media:

– “MagicGate Memory Stick” media (hereafter referred to as MG Memory

Stick) (white).

– Memory Stick media (purple).

You can use either Memory Stick media type to play back MP3 format audio files.

Notes

Notes on use

To avoid damaging data, do not

• remove the Memory Stick media or unplug the AC power adaptor during reading or writing of data.

• use the Memory Stick media in a location subject to static electricity or electric noise.

TOC reading time depends on the number of songs
