Media considerations (DP-02CF only)
The capacities and performance of your DP-02CF will
vary based on the speed and abilities of the Compact
Flash (CF) media used. Older and some cheaper Compact
Flash (CF) cards use slower memory components and
little internal buffering which results in poor recording
performance. Newer CF cards, not only perform reading
and writing faster, but also come in larger storage size.

NOTE
A card more than 512 MB should be used on the

DP-02CF.
The DP-02CF supports only Type I Compact Flash media.
Type I cards are typically FLASH-ROM based and provide
higher performance and durability than hard disk cards.

If the unit is moved from a cold to a warm place, or used
after a sudden temperature change, there is a danger of
condensation; vapor in the air could condense on the
internal mechanism, making correct operation impossible.
To prevent this, or if this occurs, let the player sit for one or
two hours at the new room temperature before using.
