Inserting and Removing a Memory Card

Inserting a Memory Stick or SD Memory Card (SD)/MultiMediaCard (MMC)/xD-Picture Card (xD)

Open the front cover and insert the Memory Stick or SD/MMC/ xD as illustrated, until it clicks into place. When using a Memory Stick Micro (M2) or miniSD with the unit, you need to use the memory card with the M2 adaptor or SD adaptor respectively (not supplied).

The Memory Stick or SD/MMC/xD access lamp lights up when Memory Stick or SD/MMC/xD is detected.

Note

The unit has a slot that can take both standard size and Duo size. All the products with such a slot as this are equipped with a system which automatically measures the size of an inserted memory card. Thats why both standard-size Memory Stick and smaller Memory Stick Duo can be used on the unit without any Memory Stick Duo Adaptor.

To remove a Memory Stick or SD/MMC/xD

Push the Memory Stick or SD/MMC/xD all the way in, briefly release it, and pull it out. When you push the Memory Stick or SD/MMC/xD all the way in, it will pop out slightly.
