### About "MagicGate"

"MagicGate" refers to copyright protection technology developed by Sony. An authentication process is performed between the "MagicGate" compatible device and "Memory Stick" to check whether they can correctly store and play back data, and the data will be encrypted. The authentication is also performed before the data is played back, and only when they are properly authenticated, the data is decrypted and played back. The copyright protected data can be played back by authenticated devices only.

#### Note

- Your VAIO computer supports only Duo-size "Memory Stick", and does not support standard-size "Memory Stick".
