Using Memory Stick ® Media
27
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 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?
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.
