Supplementary Information

Hard Drive Partition

In order to improve the performance of your computer’s DVgate™ Motion
software, the hard disk drive on your computer has been formatted with two
partitions, C and D. DVgate Motion saves files to the D partition. This
prevents large video captures from consuming the available space on your C
partition. To maintain optimum performance of DVgate Motion, you should
defragment or format the D partition regularly. The size of the D partition is
approximately 7.2 GB* (PCG-F630) or 3.6 (PCG-F610)*.

* The size of your D partition may differ if you purchased a specially configured system.

Power Management Tips

If you find that an application exhibits unexpected behavior (such as
reduced video quality) after returning from a reduced power consumption
mode, you should close that application before your computer enters a
power-saving mode.

If your battery level falls to less than 10 percent, you should either attach
the AC adapter to recharge the battery or shut down your computer and
insert a fully charged battery.

If Your Computer Does Not Start

Check that the computer is plugged into a power source and that it is
turned on. Check that the power indicator on the front panel of the
computer indicates that the power is on.

Check that the battery is inserted properly and that it is charged.

Make sure there is no diskette in the floppy disk drive.

Confirm that the AC adapter and all cables are connected firmly, as
described in “Connecting Peripheral Devices” in the VAIO
