Using Memory Stick® Media Using Memory Stick® Media This new compact, portable, and versatile recording medium has a data capacity exceeding that of a floppy disk. The media 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 Two types of Memory Stick media are available. The first type, MagicGate™ Memory Stick media (hereafter referred as MG Memory Stick media), is provided with copyright protection. The second type, simply referred to as Memory Stick media, does not have the same copyright protection as MagicGate. You can use both media with your notebook. For music, which requires copyright protection, you can only use MG Memory Stick media with your notebook. You can also use MagicGate-compatible devices to record and playback music when they are connected to your computer. You can store mixed data on the Memory Stick media. For example, you can copy an image onto MG Memory Stick media that already contains music. What is MagicGate? MagicGate is 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. ✍ Ensure that the MG Memory Stick media has the MG mark . To Insert a Memory Stick Media Insert the Memory Stick media into the media slot on the left side of the notebook until it clicks into place. When the Memory Stick media is properly in place, Sony's VisualFlow™ software will automatically launch to display the contents of the Memory Stick. 55
