Dialog box

When a window such as Screen properties is active, Dialog is displayed in the Jog Dial control window. You can select an item in the window by rotating the Jog Dial control. Also, pressing the Jog Dial control is equivalent to pressing Enter.

Internal Timer

You can use the internal timer to start an application at a specific time. The timer can start applications even when the computer is in system hibernation mode.

i.LINK Interface

Your computer comes equipped with an i.LINK port. The port is a digital interface (IEEE-1394) for high-speed communication. By using your computer, a Sony Digital Handycam® Camcorder or other camera that supports the i.LINK interface, you can easily create and edit your own home videos. For more information on connecting an i.LINK device, see “Connecting an i.LINK-compatible Device” on page 66 of this manual.
