Sony PCV-LX910 Manual

❑

If you connected headphones to the computer, you will not hear sound from 
the speakers. 

The computer’s modem uses Lucent technology/V.90. Many factors influence 
modem connection speed, including telephone line noise or compatibility with 
telephone equipment (such as fax machines or other modems). If you think your 
modem is not connecting properly to other PC-based modems, fax machines, or 
your Internet Service Provider, check the following: 

❑

Have your phone company check that your phone line is free from any line 
noise.

❑

If your problem is fax-related, check that there are no problems with the fax 
machine you are calling and that it is compatible with fax modems.

❑

For optimum performance, ensure you are calling an Internet Service 
Provider number that is V.90-compliant.

❑

If you are having a problem connecting with your Internet Service Provider, 
check that the ISP is not experiencing technical problems.

❑

If you have a second phone line available, try connecting the modem to this 
line.

Your modem may stop working due to many possible factors, including 
equipment or software conflicts. If your modem is not functioning properly, 
check the following:

❑

Check that the phone line is plugged into the LINE jack.

❑

Check that the phone line is working. You can check the line by plugging in 
an ordinary phone and listening for a dial tone.

❑

Check that the phone number the program is dialing is correct.

❑

Verify that the software you are using is appropriately configured to 
recognize and interact with the Sony computer modem. Call the software 
publisher if you do not know how to configure the software to recognize the 
modem. All programs preinstalled by Sony are compatible.

✍

You may need to reinstall the sound drivers. See “Using the Driver Recovery CD”  in 
this manual.
