** Data on a DVD-ROM is read at a variable transfer rate, ranging from 1.7X at the innermost track to 4X at the outermost track (the data transfer standard 1X rate is 1392 kbytes/s). The average data transfer standard is approximately 2.85X or 3823 kbytes/s. A DVD-ROM drive reads data on a CD-ROM at a variable transfer rate, ranging from 10.3X at the innermost track to 24X at the outermost track. The

average data transfer rate is approximately 17.15X or 2936 kbytes/s or 2576 kbytes/s.

†† Maximum speed for faxing is 14.4 kbps. Your modem is capable of downloading at 56 kpbs using K56flex technology or V.90. Your online service or Internet Service Provider, however, may not support this

technology or operate at this speed. ‡‡ Certain restrictions apply.

***Height measured at thickest point. Thinnest height is 39 mm.

If a region code warning appears when you are using the DVD player, it could be that the DVD-ROM you are trying to play is incompatible with the DVD-ROM drive in your VAIO Notebook. Region code indicators such as a “1” or “ALL” are labeled on some DVD to indicate what type of player can play the discs. Unless a “1” or “ALL” is labeled on your DVD or on the packaging, you cannot play the disc on this player.

Specifications are subject to change without notice.
