SonicStage
Sony Electronics
SonicStage is a copyright protection technology developed by Sony Corporation and designed to allow
recording and playback of digital music data on a personal computer. Once the data is encrypted and
recorded onto the hard disk, SonicStage technology allows it to be played back on the PC but prevents
unauthorized distribution. The purpose of SonicStage technology is to create an environment in which
larger quantities of high-quality music can be distributed without subsequent unauthorized distribution of
the music files.
The SonicStage software encrypts and manages music files either downloaded to a personal computer by
using the EMD services or adopted (or created) from your own CD or the Internet.
The SonicStage CD-R functionality is not pre-installed on your notebook. You can install the CD-R module
from the Application Recovery CD-ROM supplied with your notebook.
