What is SmartMedia?
SmartMedia is a type of removable IC memory
card. With more memory than a floppy disk,
SmartMedia cards facilitate data exchange
with personal computers, and can be used to
store data.
SmartMedia that can be used with
the DM-1
If the included 64MB SmartMedia card is not
enough, please purchase another SmartMedia
card.
The following types of SmartMedia cards can
be used with the DM-1.
Voltage: 3.3 V or 3V
Memory Size: 4MB*, 8MB*, 16MB, 32MB,
64MB, 128MB
When using the DM-1 as a digital music player,
for copyright protection, a SmartMedia card
without an ID function cannot be used.
* Many of the 4MB and 8MB SmartMedia cards
available in stores do not have the ID function.
Notes
• Commercial 5 V SmartMedia cards cannot be used.
• When using the DM-1 as a digital voice recorder, a
SmartMedia card without an ID function can be
used, since this does not involve copyrighted
recordings.
• Never use SmartMedia cards with products that
are not compliant with the SSFDC Forum*
(including certain models of MP3 players).
* The SSFDC Forum is a voluntary organization
committed to promoting SmartMedia as a de facto
standard in the industry. The DM-1 adheres to a
format recommended by the SSFDC Forum.
