Additional Information on Configuring your Home Network

The process for linking other computers may vary, based on the operating system in use on individual computers. You can establish and manage your home network with computers that run various Microsoft® Windows® operating systems. However, Sony recommends that all linked computers use the Windows Me™ operating system. For best results, consult the documentation that accompanied the specific computer(s) and the specific HomePNA device(s).

General Guidelines:

The steps for configuring any computer running the Windows Me operating system are similar to the instructions provided in this manual. For specific information, consult the documentation that accompanied the HomePNA device.

To set up home network configuration for computers running the Windows® 98 operating system, you can create a setup disk when you configure your VAIO computer.

When you configure your Sony VAIO® computer with the direct Internet connection for the home network, you must select the No option on the Home Networking Wizard’s Internet Connection screen.

When you assign each computer name, it must be unique to the individual computer. If any computer on your home network has the same name, neither computer can connect to the network. Naming your computers by location or function is an efficient way to easily identify the components of your home network.

When you assign a workgroup name, you must use the same workgroup name with each linked computer on your home network. If your computers are assigned to different workgroup names, they cannot be linked together on your home network.

If your home is equipped with two separate phone lines, such as separate business and personal phone service, you must create your home network on a single line. All linked computers on your home network must be plugged into telephone jacks that are extensions of one telephone service line. If your home network is set up using two separate phone lines, the linked computers are not able to communicate or share data and peripheral equipment.

MPKTHE specifications

The Sony MPK-THE is an innovative housing solution designed specifically for Sony's line of digital cameras, particularly the Alpha series, that aims to enhance the shooting experience in underwater and harsh conditions. This underwater case is meticulously engineered to ensure that photographers and videographers can capture stunning images and high-definition videos while submerged.

One of the key features of the MPK-TH is its robust construction. Built from high-quality polycarbonate, the housing can withstand the rigors of underwater use, offering durability and resistance against saltwater and pressure. This makes it suitable for depths of up to 60 meters (approximately 197 feet), allowing divers and underwater enthusiasts to explore and capture their experiences without fear of damaging the camera.

The MPK-TH also boasts an array of intuitive controls that provide users with easy access to essential camera functions. The housing incorporates dedicated buttons for shutter release and function controls, allowing seamless operation without having to remove the camera from its protective casing. This is particularly important for those who need to react quickly to spontaneous photographic opportunities underwater.

Another notable characteristic of the Sony MPK-TH is its transparent front, which is designed for maximum optical clarity. This ensures that images captured beneath the surface maintain high levels of sharpness and color fidelity, reducing light refraction problems that are commonly faced in underwater photography. Furthermore, the housing features a built-in lens port that allows for the use of Sony's wide-angle converters, enhancing the versatility of the setup.

Sony has also integrated a variety of accessories and add-ons to complement the MPK-TH. For instance, external lighting options can be used to illuminate subject matter in dark underwater environments, improving image quality. Additionally, the housing is compatible with various mounts, enabling users to attach it to different devices like tripods and stabilizers for added flexibility during shooting.

In summary, the Sony MPK-THE is a feature-rich housing solution that provides superior protection, ease of use, and excellent image quality for underwater photographers. Whether for professional work or recreational use, the MPK-TH allows users to push the limits of their creativity and explore the breathtaking beauty of the underwater world.
