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 does not meet a certain level of high quality.
To use the VAIO Zone software, you need to connect your computer and TV to the A/V port replicator and set up the VAIO Zone
software for TV viewing. See Attaching Your Computer to the Port Replicator
and Setting Up TV Connections
(on Selected Models Only)
for details.
Once your computer and TV are connected to the A/V port replicator, click Start and then VAIO Zone. When starting the VAIO
Zone software for the first time, the VAIO Zone setup wizard opens automatically and prompts you to set up your TV channel
source and establish the listings for your local TV program guide. Follow the on-screen instructions.
For details on using the software and the remote commander, please see the help file in the VAIO Zone software.
