What is a “Memory Stick”?
“Memory Stick” is a compact, portable and versatile Integrated Circuit recording medium with
a data capacity that exceeds a floppy disk. “Memory Stick” is specially designed for exchanging
and sharing digital data among “Memory Stick” compatible products. Because it is removable,
the “Memory Stick” can also be used for external data storage.
“Memory Stick” is available in two sizes: standard size and compact “Memory Stick Duo” size.
Once attached to a Memory Stick Duo adapter, “Memory Stick Duo” is physically the same size
as standard “Memory Stick” and thus can be used with products compliant with standard
“Memory Stick.”
Types of “Memory Stick”
“Memory Stick” is available in the following three types to meet various requirements in
functions.
• “Memory Stick”
Stores any type of data except copyright-protected data that requires the MagicGate
copyright protection technology.
• “MagicGate Memory Stick”
Equipped with the MagicGate copyright protection technology.
• “Memory Stick-ROM”
Stores pre-recorded, read-only data. You cannot record on “Memory Stick-ROM” or erase the
pre-recorded data.
Types of “Memory Stick” compatible with the device
You can use three types of “Memory Stick”: general “Memory Stick,” “MagicGate Memory
Stick” and “Memory Stick-ROM” with your TV. However, because your TV does not support
the MagicGate standards, data displayed with your TV is not subjected to MagicGate copy
protection.
Notes on Memory Stick Duo
To use “Memory Stick Duo” with this unit, attach it to the Memory Stick Duo adapter before
inserting it into the unit.
Make sure that you attach “Memory Stick Duo” to the adapter correctly.
