What do I need to experience Blu-ray technology?

To fully appreciate Blu-ray’s video and audio output capabilities2, you would need the following:

Note: Your VAIO® computer comes equipped with a HDMI™ or DVI-D HDCP connection, depending on the model you purchased.

TV / Monitor

For the best experience and output to a HD TV or monitor (HDCP monitor), do the following:

•Output to a high definition television/monitor using HDMI or DVI-D3connection.

•Use a Blu-ray Disc player. (See the program “InterVideo® WinDVD® BD for VAIO®” included with your computer.)

Audio

For the best experience and output to an audio system, do the following:

•Use a high-quality A/V receiver or sound decoder device with a quality set of 5.1 or 7.1 surround sound speakers.

Note: If your computer has HDMI output, use HDMI to your TV/ monitor as the sound source. Otherwise, use the S/PDIF output.
