When the internal backup battery is low on power, it may not be able to boot your system
properly. You can correct this situation as follows: Plug in the AC adapter and allow the
computer to charge for one hour while the power is on. Do not use the computer during this
time. After one hour, turn the power off and then on again. To charge the internal backup
battery fully, keep the AC adapter connected for more than 24 hours after turning the
power on. You can use your computer while charging the battery.
DVgate™ Applications
Digital Video Captures
If your system displays the message, "Failed to record to DV deck, Please
check deck's power status, cable connection and so on.", while you are
recording images to a digital video device using DVgate, close all open
applications, and restart your computer. Frequent recording of images to
a digital video device while using DVgate sometimes causes this to occur.
For more information on DVgate, see the DVgate online help.
Adjusting Image Resolution
If the images on the LCD do not display smoothly, this may be because
the incorrect resolution is selected. To check the resolution, click the Setup
button in the DVgate Motion-Monitor window. Point to Settings, then
select Low Resolution. The settings you change in this menu affect only
the images in the monitor window. Movie data imported to the hard disk
and images recorded to DV devices will not be affected.
Selecting the Printer Port Mode for Your Printer (For Windows
98)
The default setting for the printer port mode is correct for most printers.
If you cannot print, try changing the printer port mode. In Sony
Notebook Setup, select the Printer tab. If the printer port mode is set to
ECP, change it to bi-directional. If the printer port mode is set to bi-
directional, change it to ECP. See "Displaying the Sony Notebook Setup
Screen" in the online document Customizing Your V AIO
Pro™ Notebook for details on using Sony Notebook Setup.
