Using Memory Stick Media
This compact, portable, and versatile recording medium has a data capacity
exceeding that of a floppy disk. The medium is specially designed for
exchanging and sharing digital data with compatible products. Because it is
removable, the media can be used for external data storage.
Types of Memory Stick media
The following two types of Memory Stick media can be used with your
notebook:
❑ MagicGate™ media (hereafter called MG Memory Stick media), which
is provided with copyright protection.
❑ Memory Stick media, which does not have the same copyright
protection as MagicGate media.
Some music files encoded with secure copyright protection may be stored on
MG Memory Stick media but not on regular Memory Stick media. You can also
use MagicGate media-compatible devices to record and playback music when
they are connected to your notebook.
You can store mixed data on the Memory Stick media. For example, you can
copy an image on to MG Memory Stick media that already contains music.
What is MagicGate media?
MagicGate media provides copyright protection that consists of authentication
and encryption technology. Authentication technology ensures that protected
content is only transferred between compliant devices and media. Protected
content is recorded and transferred in an encrypted format to prevent
unauthorized duplication or playback.
To insert a Memory Stick media
1 Insert the Memory Stick media with the arrow facing upward and toward the
Memory Stick media slot.
✍ MG Memory Stick media has the MG mark .
✍ Inserting the media in the wrong direction may damage the connector pins.
