Using Your VAIO Computer

Using the TV Function (on Selected Models Only)

If an A/V port replicator is delivered with the model you purchased, your computer is equipped with a TV tuner. In combination with Sony's VAIO Zone software, the TV tuner board allows you to:

❑Watch, record and play back analog broadcasted cable and terrestrial TV programs, all by remote control.

❑Digitize analog video and audio using the S-video or composite and audio inputs.

❑Manage your video units (capsules), preview them and create multiple folders.

❑Set up a timer to record channels at a repeated time.

❑Suspend viewing TV (time-shifting).

❑Stream your recorded TV contents via Ethernet (or WLAN) to connected PCs.

✍

Sony cannot guarantee the streaming of recorded content if it is beyond a certain level of high quality.

For details on using the VAIO Zone software and the remote control, please see the dedicated guide. Otherwise read the help files within the software itself.

tvtv takes your VAIO's TV functions to a new level. Never miss your favorite TV program again, by remote-recording it via the Internet onto your TV tuner-equipped VAIO. The tvtv Interactive Programme Guide gives you a comprehensive overview of what's on when and automatically synchronizes it with your VAIO, wherever you happen to be at the time. For more information, read the Welcome to TVTV HTML files on your computer.
