Using Memory Stick

Media

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.

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.

Insert with the arrow facing toward the Memory Stick media slot and the
label facing down.

✍

Ensure that the MG Memory Stick media has the MG mark

✍

Inserting the media in the wrong direction may damage the connector pins.

Hold the Memory Stick media with the arrow pointing in the correct direction
and then turn it so the label side is down before inserting into the slot. To
avoid damaging the computer or the Memory Stick Media, do not force the
Memory Stick media into the slot.
