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.
