– Direct sunlight
– High humidity or places with corrosive
substances
– Install batteries with the + and – poles
aligned correctly.
• To prolong the life of the “Memory Stick,”

“ Ma g icGa t e Me m o ry St ick”
A compact IC recording media “Memory Stick” equipped with “MagicGate” copyright protection
technology. You can record or play data, such as music, that requires copyright protection only
by using a “MagicGate Memory Stick” with “MagicGate” compatible equipment (e.g., Network
Walkman).
“MagicGate Memory Stick” can be used to record any other kind of digital data with any other
“Memory Stick” compatible equipment.
“MagicGate Memory Stick” is distinguished by the “MG” and “MAGIC GATE” logos.
“ Me m o ry St ick”
“Memory Stick” is a portable and compact Integrated Circuit recording medium. There are two
types of “Memory Stick”: “MagicGate Memory Stick” equipped with “MagicGate” copyright
protection technology and a normal “Memory Stick” not equipped with the copyright protection
technology. You can record image files, audio files, and sound files using “Memory Stick”
compatible audio visual devices, or record data from the computer. Data with different formats
can be stored in the same “Memory Stick.” (Please refer to the instruction manuals that come with
the devices to check which format the equipment is able to read.)
For example, you can store image files in the space available on “MagicGate Memory Stick” using
the respective equipment even if there are already audio files in “MagicGate Memory Stick.”
Op e n MG
Copyright protection technology that securely manages music content from the EMD/ Audio CD
on a personal computer. Application software that is installed on the computer encrypts the
digital music content when recording on the hard drive. This allows you to enjoy music content
on the computer, but prevents unauthorized transmission of this content across a network (or
elsewhere). This PC copyright protection complies with “MagicGate,” and allows you to transfer
digital music content from a PC’s hard drive to a compliant device.
ATRAC3
ATRAC3, which stands for Adaptive Transform Acoustic Coding3, is audio compression
technology that satisfies the demand for high sound quality and high compression rates.
The ATRAC3 compression rate is approximately 10 times higher than that of the Audio CD,
resulting an increased data capacity for the media.

SDMI
SDMI which stands for Secure Digital Music Initiative, is a forum that consists of over 130
companies in the fields of recorded audio content, computers, and consumer electronics,
dedicated to developing an integrated method of copyright protection technology that can be
used worldwide.
SDMI is working to create a framework for preventing improper usage of audio files and to
promote legal music distribution services. The copyright protection technologies “OpenMG” and
“MagicGate” are based upon the SDMI standard.
“ Ch e ck-in /Ch e ck-o u t ”
Check-out is to transfer music files from a personal computer to an external device/ media (such
as Network Walkman). Returning checked-out music files to the same computer is to check-in.
(You cannot move checked-out music files to another computer.)
You can check-out a music file, check it back in, and then check it out again an infinite number of
times. The SDMI rules provide that up to four copies of a music file can be checked-out at one
time. OpenMG employs a method whereby three copies of a song can be checked-out
simultaneously, while the fourth copy is maintained as a “master” on your PC. If three copies of
the same song are checked-out at a given time, one copy of the song needs to be checked-in to the
computer in order to create an additional check-out.
Bit ra t e
Indicates the data amount per second. The rate is reflected in bps (bit per second).
In OpenMG Jukebox, the bit rate for recording an audio CD or converting MP3 and WAV format
audio files into ATRAC3 format can be chosen from 132 kbps/ 105kbps/ 66kbps. 105 kbps means
105000 bits of information per second. If the bit rate is large, that means a large amount of
information is used to play music. Comparing music of the same format, a 105 kbps data offers
better sound quality than 66 kbps data, and 132 kbps data offers better sound quality than 105
kbps data. However, audio files in formats such as MP3 have different encoding methods, and
thus sound quality cannot be determined by simply comparing the bit rate.
