Using Memory Stick Media
Memory Stick ® media is a compact, portable, and versatile recording medium that has a data capacity exceeding that
of a floppy disk. The medium 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
The following two types of Memory Stick media can be used with your notebook:
 MagicGate Memory Stick 1 media (hereafter called MG Memory Stick media), which is provided with
copyright protection
 Memory Stick 2 media, which does not have the same copyright protection as MagicGate media
Some music files encoded with secure copyright protection may be stored on MG Memory Stick media but not on
regular Memory Stick media. You can also use MagicGate media-compatible devices to record and playback music
when they are connected to your notebook.
You can store mixed data on the Memory Stick media. For example, you can copy an image on to MG Memory Stick
media that already contains music.
What is MagicGate media?
MagicGate media provides 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.
MG Memory Stick media has the MG mark .
To insert a Memory Stick media
1. Insert the Memory Stick media into the Memory Stick media slot with the arrow facing upward and toward the
slot.
Inserting the media in the wrong direction may damage the connector pins.
To avoid damaging the notebook or the Memory Stick media, do not force the media into the slot.
2. Carefully slide the Memory Stick media into the slot until it clicks in place.
Inserting Memory Stick Media
At the default setting, Visual Flow application starts automatically when you insert a Memory Stick media.
You can change this setting in VAIO Action Setup.
To confirm that the Memory Stick media is inserted correctly, check the Removable Disk drive. Page 60
