If a region code warning appears when you try to use your optical drive, it 
may be that the DVD you are trying to play is incompatible with the optical 
drive. Check the region code listing on the DVD packaging.
Condensation may cause the notebook to malfunction. If this occurs, do not 
use it for at least one hour.
My optical drive tray does not open.
Make sure the notebook is turned on.
Press the Eject button on the optical drive.
If the Eject button does not work, open the tray by inserting a thin, straight 
object (such as a paper clip) in the hole to the right of the Eject button.
I cannot use Digital Video (DV) devices. The message “DV 
equipment seems to be disconnected or turned off” appears.
Check that the DV device is turned on and that the cables are properly 
connected.
If you are using multiple i.LINK®
*
 devices, the combination of the 
connected devices may cause unstable operation. In this case, turn off your 
notebook and all connected devices. Disconnect the devices that are not in 
use. Check the connections for each device, then restart your notebook.
My PC Card is not working.
Make sure the PC Card is installed properly.
Make sure the PC Card is compatible with Microsoft® Windows®.
* i.LINK is a Sony trademark used only to designate that a product contains an IEEE 1394 con-
nection. The i.LINK connection may vary, depending on the software applications, operating 
system, and compatible i.LINK devices. All products with an i.LINK connection may not 
communicate with each other. Refer to the documentation that came with your compatible 
i.LINK device for information on operating conditions and proper connection. Before con-
necting compatible i.LINK PC peripherals to your system, such as a CD-RW or hard disk 
drive, confirm their operating system compatibility and required operating conditions.
You can purchase compatible i.LINK cables from your local retailer, through the Sony 
VAIO® Direct Web site (http://vaio.sonystyle.com), or by calling 1-888-315-7669 (toll
