On “Memory Stick”

What is “Memory Stick”?

“Memory Stick” is a new-generation IC storage media that is ultra-small

and lightweight and has far greater storage capacity than floppy disks. The

media can be used not only for transferring data between “Memory Stick”

compatible products, but also as a removable, external storage media for

storing data.

“Memory Stick” is available in standard size and a smaller size called

“Memory Stick Duo.” When “Memory Stick Duo” is inserted into a

Memory Stick Duo Adaptor, the size becomes the same as the standard-

sized “Memory Stick” to allow use with products that are compatible with

the standard-sized “Memory Stick.”

“Memory Stick” types that can be used with

this unit

* Two types of “Memory Stick” are available to suit your needs.

“Memory Stick”

A “Memory Stick” that allows recording of all kinds of data with the

exception of data requiring copyright-protection technology

(“MagicGate”).

“MagicGate Memory Stick”

This is a “Memory Stick” featuring built-in copyright protection

technology (“MagicGate”).

The “Memory Stick” concept also comprises “I/O expansion module.”

Compatible “I/O expansion module” can be used with this unit. (For

details of compatible modules, visit the web site, http://www.sony.net/

memorystick/supporte)

PNote

Never insert an ”I/O expansion module” that does not comply with this

unit into the Memory Stick slot on this unit.

For the functions and operation methods of ”I/O expansion module”,

please refer to the instructions for each ”I/O expansion module”.

7-GB

What is “MagicGate”?

“MagicGate” is a copyright protection technology that operates when it is

provided in both the “Memory Stick” and the product in which the media

is used. A “Do you comply with “MagicGate”?” authentication takes place

between devices equipped with “MagicGate” (this unit, etc.) and the

“Memory Stick.” Data encryption takes places after the authentication.

those certified for this.

Music and other data that require copyright protection can be recorded

and played back by using a combination of a “MagicGate Memory Stick”

and equipment compatible with “MagicGate”, such as this unit.

Different types of data can be recorded on a single “Memory Stick.”

For example, it is possible to record image data on the remaining empty

section of a “MagicGate Memory Stick” containing music data.

Using “MagicGate Memory Stick”

PNotes

• Data transferred (checked out) from “SonicStage” to a “MagicGate Memory

Stick” are collected in a folder named “Hifi folder.”

Do not edit the “Hifi folder” using anything but “SonicStage”, such as

Explorer, etc. Data edited by other means cannot be played back or checked in.

Sony can not be held responsible for the data lost in the case of editing.

• Formatting a “MagicGate Memory Stick” containing data will delete all the

data, including music data. Be careful not to delete important data

accidentally. Sony can not be held responsible for the data lost through

formatting.

• What you record are for personal enjoyment only. Copyright laws prohibit

other forms of use without the permission of the copyright holder.

• In no event will Sony be liable for the data contents in case download of

recorded material is impeded or music data is corrupted or deleted due to

malfunctions of this unit or the “Memory Stick”.
