What you can do with your Network Walkman (continued)

On “MagicGate Memory Stick”

What is a “Memory Stick”?

“Memory Stick” is a compact, portable and versatile Integrated Circuit recording medium with a data
capacity that exceeds a floppy disk. “Memory Stick” is specially designed for exchanging and sharing
digital data among “Memory Stick” compatible products. Because it is removable, the “Memory Stick” can
also be used for external data storage.

Sizes of “Memory Stick”

There are two sizes of “Memory Stick”: regular size “Memory Stick” and compact size “Memory Stick
Duo”. With a duo adaptor, you can use “Memory Stick Duo” on a device supporting regular size “Memory
Stick”. For your Network Walkman, use a “Memory Stick Duo” (compact size “Memory Stick”).

Types of “Memory Stick”

There are five types of “Memory Stick”: MagicGate-compatible “Memory Stick Duo” is the only media
supported by your Network Walkman.*

1 “Memory Stick PRO”: “Memory Stick PRO” can be used on “Memory Stick PRO” compatible devices.

It has the “MagicGate” copyright protection technology.

2 “Memory Stick-R”: Data stored in “Memory Stick-R” cannot be overwritten. It can be used on

“Memory Stick-R” compatible devices. You cannot store data with “MagicGate” copyright protection
technology.

3 “Memory Stick”: You can store any data except for data requiring the “MagicGate” copyright protection

technology.

4 “MagicGate Memory Stick”: “MagicGate Memory Stick” is equipped with “MagicGate” copyright

protection technology.

5 “Memory Stick ROM”: “Memory Stick ROM” is a read-only “Memory Stick” in which data has been

prerecorded. Data stored in “Memory Stick ROM” cannot be overwritten or deleted.

* You can also use a “Memory Stick” for reading/writing data that is not protected by a copyright protection

technology.

What is “MagicGate”?

“MagicGate” is a copyright protection technology for “MagicGate Memory Stick” and compliant products,
such as Network Walkman. Authentication ensures that the protected content is transferred only between
compliant devices and “MagicGate Memory Stick”, and that protected content is recorded and transferred
in an encrypted format to prevent unauthorized copying or playback.

8

Using “Memory Stick” (not supplied) on your Network Walkman

Prepare MagicGate-compatible “Memory Stick Duo”.

“Memory Stick” is not supplied with your Network Walkman. Although there are several types of
“Memory Stick”, MagicGate-compatible “ Memory Stick Duo” is the only media that supports your
Network Walkman.
When you purchase “Memory Stick”, make sure that you select MagicGate-compatible “Memory Stick
Duo” with a logo and logo.

Note

The memory capacity of MagicGate-compatible “Memory Stick Duo” supported by your Network Walkman is up to
128MB.

Notes on using “Memory Stick Duo”

• Do not remove “Memory Stick Duo” during reading or writing data.

• Data may be damaged in the following cases.

– The Network Walkman is removed from the USB cradle or the dedicated USB cable is unplugged

while reading or writing data.

– The “Memory Stick” is used in a location subject to static electricity or electric noise.

• Creating backup copies of important data is recommended.

Notes on formatting (initializing)

“Memory Stick Duo” is shipped with a FAT format as the standard format.
To format “Memory Stick”, use devices conformable with the “Memory Stick”.
If “Memory Stick” is formatted using Windows Explorer, “FORMAT ERROR” (page 53) will be displayed
and audio files cannot be played on the Network Walkman. On Windows XP, you can format “Memory
Stick” properly. When you format “Memory Stick”, always perform either one of the following:

• Follow the instructions of “Formatting memory” on page 44.

• Format using the supplied SonicStage software.
For details on how to format using the SonicStage software, refer to “SonicStage Online Help.”

Displaying on Windows Explorer

When you connect Network Walkman to your computer with the supplied USB cable, you can display the
data stored on “Memory Stick” or built-in flash memory as an external drive (for example, as the D drive)
using Windows Explorer.

• Data transferred with the SonicStage software, and audio data recorded directly from the digital/analog
audio device (only for NW-MS77DR) will be stored in a “HIFI” folder. Do not edit data stored in the
“HIFI” folder using Windows Explorer. Data copied or edited using Windows Explorer cannot be played
on your Network Walkman.

• You can display data that has been stored on other “Memory Stick” compatible devices (JPEG, MPEG
format, etc.,).

For information on how to handle data except in the “HIFI” folder, refer to the instruction manual that
comes with the equipment with which the recording has been done.

empty battery charged in an ambient temperature
of between 5˚C to 35˚C (67˚F to 95˚F). The
charging time will be shortened depending on the
battery power remaining. If the battery is charged
in a low-temperature environment, the charging
time will be longer.
