SD memory card
SD cards let you easily transfer data from devices, such as digital cameras
and Personal Digital Assistants, that use SD card flash-memory. The cards
have a high level of security and copy protection features.
Formatting an SD card
SD memory cards are sold already formatted in conformity to specific
standards. If you format the SD card again, be sure to format it with the
TOSHIBA SD memory card format utility, not with the format commands
provided within Windows.
In order to run TOSHIBA SD memory card format, click Start -> All
Programs -> TOSHIBA -> Utilities -> SD memory card Format.
The TOSHIBA SD memory card format utility does not format the protected
area of the SD memory card. Should you need to format all areas of the
memory card, including the protected area, you will need to obtain an
appropriate application that applies the copy protection system.

Memory Stick/Memory Stick Pro flash memory cards with various memory
capacities. Memory Stick let you easily transfer data from devices, such as
digital cameras and Personal Digital Assistants, that use Memory Stick
technology.
Write protection
Memory Stick can be write protected to safeguard your data. To write-
protect a Memory Stick, slide the lock on the back of the Memory Stick to
the lock position.
SD memory cards comply with SDMI (Secure Digital Music Initiative),
which is a technology adopted to prevent unlawful copy or playback of
digital music. For this reason, you cannot copy or playback protected
material on another computer or other device. You may not use the
reproduction of any copyrighted material except for your personal
enjoyment.
Keep foreign objects out of the Bridge media slot. Never allow metal
objects, such as screws, staples and paper clips, to enter the PC or
keyboard. Foreign metal objects can create a short circuit, which can
cause PC damage and fire, possibly resulting in serious injury.

■ Memory Stick Duo/PRO Duo and the Memory Stick adaptor are not
compatible with the Bridge media slot. Do not insert Memory Stick Duo/
PRO Duo into the slot. Data may be lost or damaged if you use any
