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
