1)Network Media only allows you to view video capsules recorded on the VAIO computer with Giga Pocket and video capsules recorded on the VAIO computer with Network Media. You cannot view other video files with this function. The displayed names of video cabinets and video capsules are as they are created with Giga Pocket. For details about Giga Pocket, refer to the documentation supplied with your VAIO computer or Giga Pocket Help.

2)You can only listen to playlists handled by SonicStage or SonicStage Premium. You cannot listen to other music files or music purchased from an Internet electronic music distribution (EMD) service with Network Media. The displayed names of playlist folders and playlists are as created with SonicStage or SonicStage Premium. For details about SonicStage or SonicStage Premium, refer to the documentation supplied with your VAIO computer or SonicStage Help.

3)PictureGear Studio must be installed on your VAIO computer to perform this operation. When Picture Gear Studio is installed, you can use its Photo Collection feature to store still images on the Photo Server. For details, refer to PictureGear Studio Help.

4)If PictureGear Studio is not installed on your VAIO computer, save still images in folders in the C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Photo Server\VAIO Media folder. Still images stored in any other location are not detected by Network Media, and thus cannot be viewed. The name of the designated folder may vary. For details, start your VAIO computer, click Start, point to All Programs, VAIO Media, Server Administration, and then click Photo Server Readme.
