On using a memory card
P Notes
• When formatting (initializing) a memory
card, make sure to use the IC recorder to
format it. Operations of the memory cards
formatted with Windows or other devices are
not guaranteed.
• If you format a memory card containing
recorded data, the recorded data will be
deleted. Be careful not to delete important
data.
• Do not leave a memory card within the reach
of small children. They might accidentally
swallow it.
• Do not insert or remove a memory card
during recording/playback/formatting.
Doing so may cause a malfunction of the IC
recorder.
• Do not remove a memory card while the
"Accessing..." animation appears in the
display window or the indicator is flashing in
orange. Doing so may damage the data.
• We do not guarantee the operations of all
types of compatible memory cards with the
IC recorder.
• For compatible M2™, please refer to the
Sony web site (page 121).
• "MagicGate™" is the collective name of
content protection technologies developed
by Sony. The IC recorder does not support
data recording/playback that requires
MagicGate™ functions.
• The IC recorder does not support parallel
data transfer.
• You cannot use a ROM (read-only-memory)
type or write-protected memory card.

cases:
– When a memory card is removed or the IC
recorder is turned off during a read or write
operation.
– When a memory card is used in locations
subject to static electricity or electrical
noise.
• We assume no responsibility for any loss or
damage of recorded data.
