0021] The secured digital media content on the digital storage medium 114 can be unsecured before sending the content to the media processor 116. The content can be unsecured by sending it through the digital storage security module 110. The unsecured digital media content can then be sent to the media processor 116. In another embodiment, the media processor can be configured to also act as the digital storage security module. This can enable the multimedia device 102 to be more secure, as the secured digital media content can be sent directly to the media processor without first being unsecured. Thus, the unsecured digital media content cannot be intercepted between the digital storage security module chip and the media processor.
