* MHz denotes microprocessor internal clock speed; other factors may affect application performance. Processor operating speed may be reduced while operating on battery power.

† The processor may be reduced to a lower operating speed when operating on battery power.

‡GB means one billion bytes when referring to hard drive capacity. Accessible capacity may vary. ** Data on a DVD-ROM is read at a variable transfer rate, ranging from 1.7X at the innermost track to 8X 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. 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.
