Configuring VAIO Media software
VAIO Media™ software manages the interaction between RoomLink™ and your
VAIO® computer(s), by enabling the computer(s) to act as a music, photo, and
video servers. A VAIO computer that shipped with VAIO Media™ software
preinstalled can be used as a VAIO Media server in a network environment.
VAIO Media software must be running when you access Giga Pocket™ Personal
Video Recorder, SonicStage™, or PictureGear Studio™ software.
Preparing your multimedia content.
❑ Music files—Use SonicStage™ software, ver.1.5, to create Playlists of

Music Server™ software automatically makes these Playlists available

Media users on your network, place the still image files (JPEG, GIF,
