What is “MagicGate”?
“MagicGate” is a copyright protection technology for MG Memory Stick media
and compliant products, such as your CLIÉ handheld. Authentication ensures
that protected content is transferred only between compliant devices and MG
Memory Stick media, and that protected content is recorded and transferred in an
encrypted format to prevent unauthorized copying or playback.
Notes on use
To avoid damaging data, do not:
• remove Memory Stick media or unplug the AC power adaptor
during reading or writing of data.
• use Memory Stick media in a location subject to static electricity or
electric noise.
On the TOC reading time
When you start the Audio Player application, the application starts
reading the TOC information such as the song name and artist name of
the songs in the Memory Stick media.
Depending on the number of songs stored in the Memory Stick media,
this may take a few seconds. You cannot operate the Audio Player
application while it is reading the TOC information; this is not a
malfunction.
On formatting the Memory Stick media
The Memory Stick media is shipped with FAT format as the standard
format.
To format the Memory Stick media, use devices compatible with
Memory Stick media. For details, refer to the Operating Instructions
manual.
Note
If you format your Memory Stick media using your computer, further operation
with your CLIÉ handheld is not guaranteed. Format Memory Stick media using
the CLIÉ handheld according to the procedures in the Operating Instructions
manual.
