Connecting and disconnecting PC Card drives
The PC Card drive enables you to read data stored on a DVD or CD. Your computer may come with an external PC Card
drive, depending on the model you purchased. If you wish to purchase an optional PC Card drive, shop Sony online at

If you connect a non-Sony DVD drive to your VAIO

computer, DVD playback may not function properly. The
supplied DVD software must be installed to play a DVD. For best performance, use a Sony compatible DVD drive.
