Using Your VAIO Computer
Using the TV Function
If an A/V port replicator is supplied with the model you purchased, your computer is equipped with a TV tuner to enable the
TV function. See the printed Specifications Guide to see if your model supports the TV function.
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.
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.

1 Plug one end of your antenna cable/cable-TV cable (supplied with selected models only*) into the VHF/UHF port on the
A/V port replicator.
