If you have printed the discs label, dry the label before playing.

Precautions Usage and storage Only use the specified power cord. Never short-circuit any of the connectors

with a metallic object such as a keyholder. Do not leave the unit in locations where

the temperature may rise above 60C (140F), such as in direct sunlight.

Protect the unit from water and moisture. Use the unit on a flat level surface. Do not install this equipment in a confined

space such as a bookshelf or similar unit. To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not

place objects filled with liquids, such as vases, on the apparatus.

On power sources The Media Storage is not disconnected from the AC power source as long as it is connected to the wall outlet, even if the unit itself has been turned off.

Overheating If the unit has become hotter than normal during operation, turn off the unit, disconnect the power cord, and contact a service center.

Condensation If the unit is brought from a cold to a warm location, or if the ambient temperature suddenly rises, moisture may form on the outer surface and on the interior of the unit.

To remove a CF / Microdrive Push the eject button all the way in, release it, and then pull the CF/Microdrive out.

Notes

When multiple memory cards are inserted while the unit is turned on, the card inserted first has priority to be recognized.

You can use a Memory Stick Duo without an adaptor, as the unit automatically detects the size of the inserted Memory Stick.

Do not insert more than one memory card in each slot, as damage may occur. Before use, check that the memory card is inserted correctly. Insert the memory card straight. If you push the memory card by force, this will cause

damage to both the memory card and the unit. Do not remove the memory card while importing, as damage to data may occur. If you attempt to insert a Memory Stick Micro or miniSD/microSD without an M2 or

SD adaptor respectively, it may become jammed. Memory cards should be kept away from small children to prevent them from accidental

swallowing. Insert the memory card into the corresponding slot. Do not apply too much pressure to the memory card in the slot, as it may cause a

malfunction.

About album names and image storage locations

When you import photos to the unit, all photos are stored in an automatically created album. When [Auto Group] of [Application Settings] is set to [On], an album name is automatically given according to the created order as [Album0001], [Album0002], and so on (page 60).

Hints

You can also import photos from the computer (Connecting to a Computer page 50). If a digital still camera, memory cards, and/or a disc are connected/inserted at the same

time, the unit imports from one of them, in the following order of priority: digital still camera, memory card (in the left-most slot), disc.

When you insert multiple memory cards with the unit turned on, the card inserted first has import priority.

When [Auto Creation (x-ScrapBook/x-Pict Story)] is set to [On] (page 60), x-ScrapBook album(s) or x-Pict Story HD file(s) will automatically be created when importing has completed.

Notes

The data read/write speed differs depending on the memory card, disc and usage environment.

Coded data, such as data protected by MagicGate, cannot be imported to the unit. If you stop importing while importing photos, importing will be canceled and no photos

will be imported to the unit. If you stop importing while the unit is creating x-ScrapBook album(s)/x-Pict Story HD

file(s), all the photos imported and x-ScrapBook album(s)/x-Pict Story HD file(s) created until then will remain in the unit.

Photos which are unplayable in this unit can be imported, but will not be used in x-ScrapBook and x-Pict Story HD.

If you press \/1 (on/standby) during importing, the display turns off but importing continues. The unit turns off completely after importing is finished.
