You can import movies from DV or MICROMV 
Handycams* by simply connecting and using 
the one click button. Then edit your movies 
with Adobe® Premiere® Standard and export 
them to DV or MICROMV Handycam* 
equipment (MPEG1 and MPEG2 file export also 
possible), or record them to DVD using Click to 
DVD. DVgate Plus makes every step easy.

By connecting your VAIO with your digital 
camera via USB cable, or inserting Memory 
Stick media, you can automatically import 
photos to VAIO’s hard drive. Since photos are 
displayed as thumbnails on the screen, 
browsing is a breeze. You can also create 
screensavers and slideshows, as well as photo 
albums you can print or save as PDF files. 

This professional video editing software lets 
you easily create and edit your own 
Hollywood-quality videos. Just place visual 
materials along a timeline window, then drag 
and drop to rearrange them. You can add 
sophisticated titles and transitions. Use 3D 
Particle Maker and Motion Tracker to create 
visual effects such as sparkles or flames that 
move convincingly within your video via new 
VAIO Edit Components (ver 4.1) for Premiere. 
Then export the results to Click to DVD and 
create your own quality DVD video!

Save music from the Internet or CDs on your 
hard disk and search, sort and play back music 
conveniently. And when you want your music “to 
go”, create original compilation CDs in MP3 or 
ATRAC3 format as well as standard audio CDs 
on your VAIO. You can also copy music into 
MiniDisk (MD)**. A convenient new interface 
makes all the operation easier than ever!

This advanced music mastering software lets 
you import analogue music — including old LP 
records and cassette tapes — edit the music, 
and write your own high-quality optimised CDs. 
(EDIROL AUDIO capture UA-5* USB audio 
interface device from Roland is required for 
analogue stereo music import.) Leading 
features include Super Bit Mapping, four high-
performance third-party effector modules, and 
support for recording in a 24bit/96KHz 
sampling mode.

Creating and editing your digital images has 
never been easier, thanks to Adobe® 
Photoshop® Elements. These state-of-the-art 
image editing tools free you to explore your 
creativity. After personalising your photos, you 
can print them, email them or post them on the 
Web. It’s the fun way to master the elements 
of digital imaging.

This handy tool for visual communication lets 
you capture still and moving images from a 
Digital Handycam* connected via i.LINK cable 
or optional Visual Communication Camera 
(PCGA-UVC11A)*. You can even take images 
automatically at intervals with a Web camera. 
The images can be attached to email or 
uploaded to your Web site.

and IEEE 802.11g products on the same wireless network may reduce the communication speed due to radio interference. Taking this into consideration, the IEEE 802.11g products are designed to 
reduce the communication speed to ensure communication with IEEE 802.11b products. When the communication speed is not as fast as expected, changing the wireless channel on the access point 
may increase the communication speed.  *7 The fast wireless LAN technology, “Super G,” developed by Atheros Communications, Inc. enables faster wireless communications among compatible devices. 
*8 The communication speed varies depending on the distance between communication devices, existence of obstacles between such devices, the device configuration, the radio conditions, and the 
software in use.  In addition, communication may be cut off depending on the radio conditions.  *9 Estimated battery life. When the power-saving mode is on. Actual battery life may vary with different
