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

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.

Elements. These state-of-the-art
image editing tools free you to explore your
creativity. After personalising your photos, you

automatically at intervals with a Web camera.
The images can be attached to email or
uploaded to your Web site.

settings, select a menu background, and add one
of the 5.1ch surround background music
templates provided. Trimming, rearranging
footage is also easy. Create your DVD (video and/
or photos) the way you like it!
With Click to DVD software and a connected
Handycam* (DV / MICROMV), Cyber-shot*, or Memory
Stick, you’re only a click away from creating your own
Hollywood-style DVD masterpiece. Original photo
DVDs, movie+photo DVDs as well as video DVDs can
be easily made in Automatic Mode. You can also
select Edit Mode for further changes along the way to
making your own DVD. With Click to DVD, everything is
simple! By choosing “VAIO Animated Menu”, a moving
menu background with 5.1 Surround Sound music
templates can be created from your original clips.

CD-R/RW media by simply dragging and dropping files with your mouse! The
software includes Music Box for creating music CDs, Data Box for reading data to

*1 CPU speed will be reduced under certain operating conditions. *2 By removing two pre-installed 256MB memory modules and adding two 512MB memory modules. *3 High-speed/Full-speed/Low
speed compatible. *4 Does not support MagicGate copyright protection technology. *5 MagicGate copyright protection technology cannot be applied to Memory Stick PRO. *6 Deploying IEEE 802.11b
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
operating conditions and settings. Battery life under JEITA Battery Run Time Measurement Method (ver.1.0) is approximately 2.5 hours for PCGA-BP2NY. For further details, please visit vaio-
