Do not open the cabinet. Refer servicing to qualified
personnel only.
n The e Villa case holes are for ventilation. Never place
anything in the holes.
n Avoid spilling food or liquids on or near your e Villa

GETTING CONNECTED
The connections on the back of the unit are marked according to
what you plug into them. Plug the keyboard, scroll mouse,
phone cord and power cord into their corresponding
connections. The cords and jacks are color coded. Match the
colors to assure you have plugged the keyboard and scroll
mouse into the proper jacks. The cords can only be inserted one
way, with the flat side of the connector aligned with the left side
of the jack. Be sure the connections are solid.
note
When you have plugged all the connections into the device, plug
the phone cord and the power cord into the wall jacks.
note
Be sure to place the device close to a power outlet
and phone jack. If you do not have a phone jack
near the site you have selected, you may need to
purchase a longer phone cord. Do not run cords
where they could be tripped on or damaged.
Use the splitter if you have a single phone jack and
want to have a phone next to your e Villa device.
Plug the splitter into the telephone wall jack, then
plug the eVilla device and the phone into the
splitter’s jacks.

For more information. . .
on connecting other accessories, such as printers and speakers,
see page29.
The Keyboard
The e Villa keyboard is compact, functional and provides onetouch access to the information you’ll want most. Across the top
of the keyboard is a row of buttons. These are the NET GUIDE
channel buttons. Simply press a button to go instantly to the
Net Guide channel of your choice.
For more information. . .
on the Net Guide, see page17.
The e Villa keyboard includes a shortcut key which can be used
to perform common tasks such as copying and pasting text.
For more information. . .
on the supported shortcuts, look up “keyboard shortcuts” in the
eGuide.
Attach the palm rest by inserting the tabs into the slots on the
underside of the keyboard and sliding it into the locked position.
7
The Scroll Mouse
There are three parts to the scroll mouse — the two buttons and
the scroll wheel. When sitting on a flat surface, the mouse fits
comfortably in the palm of your hand. Your fingers should
naturally rest on the two buttons. When you move the mouse,
you will see a hand move around on the screen; this is
commonly known as the cursor .
Point and Click
Move the cursor over an active element (for example, a
hardware icon or Net Guide channel) or an Internet link. This is
the “pointing” part. Press the left button one time (called
“clicking”) to open or activate that feature. After you click to
perform a task, the cursor changes to let you know the
information is processing. Or, move the cursor within a line of
text, for instance while you are editing an email message, and
click the left button to place the cursor there. Within text, the
cursor appears as a flashing vertical line.
You may be familiar with the computer concept of “double
clicking” an icon to open it. You can use this method with the
e Villa Network Entertainment Center or click once to select an
item, then click the proper action icon to perform the desired
function, such as: OPEN, CLOSE or DELETE.

Scrolling
Use the scroll wheel between the two mouse buttons to easily
maneuver up and down through an email or a Web site that
extends beyond the vertical size of the screen. Merely roll the
wheel away from you to move up on the page, or roll it toward
you to move down.
For more information. . .
and detailed instructions on using the click, scroll and drag
features of the scroll mouse, look up “Using the Scroll Mouse” in
the eGuide.
MOVING IN (REGISTRATION)
Now that you’ve connected the keyboard, scroll mouse, phone
cord and power cord, you’re ready to go. The POWER button is
located on the front of the unit to the left of the Memory Stick
media slot.
When you press the POWER button, the indicator light turns
green and the eVilla Network Entertainment Center comes alive.
The first time you start the device you will see the Sony logo;
then, the Welcome screen appears. You can choose to register
your eVilla Internet access account or preview e Villa’s features.
n To preview the features, click START TOUR.
n To register, click REGISTER.
note
You must register your Internet access account
before you can use the eVilla Network Entertainment
Center on the Internet. Please read the End User
License Agreement included with your device before
you register. It provides the terms and conditions for
use of the eVilla device and its software.
The screens you see on your eVilla unit may not look
exactly as depicted in this guide. Sony continues to
update the eVilla software to bring the best and foremost
to you.
9
Registering Your eVilla Internet Access Account
Registering your eVilla account to access the Internet is a snap.
Use the scroll mouse to click REGISTER when the Welcome
screen appears. A series of screens leads you step-by-step
through the process.
note
tip
If for any reason you need to stop the process before
it is complete, don’t worry. The display appears as
soon as you power on again, and the account
registration process automatically starts over.
For easy access when you need it, record your
account information in the space provided on the
inside front cover of this guide.
Choosing an Internet Access Number
Initially, the system dials a toll-free number to register your
account. After that, it uses a local telephone number to connect
to the Internet. Access numbers will be suggested to you during
the registration process. Be sure you choose one or more that
are in your local toll-free zone so you do not have to pay
additional telephone charges while you are on the Internet.
10
tip
Please contact your local telephone company to
assure the telephone number you select to access
the Internet is free of any toll charges. Sony cannot
be held responsible for any additional telephone
charges incurred while using this device.
Entering Your Personal Information
terms and conditions as set forth by EarthLink.
In this step you’ll provide information like your name, address,
phone number and credit card information to register your
account. The information is typed into a series of very easy,
self-explanatory screens. It is completely safe and private. The
information is sent to Customer Service over a secure, direct
phone connection.
Example:
Providing Payment Information
You must supply a debit or credit card number for monthly
billing of your Internet access account. You’ll also need the
name on the card and the expiration date, just like you would if
you were ordering something over the phone.
note
The subscription fee for Internet access is a
monthly fee. Charges will vary depending on the
type of service. Your Internet access is being
provided by EarthLink, Inc. an Internet Service
Provider (ISP) that is not affiliated with Sony. Your
use of this service may be subject to additional
11
Entering a Username
During the account registration process you will be asked to enter
a primary account username. This name becomes part of your
email address. Enter something that is easy for you and your
friends to remember. Your name is always a good choice, as is a
hobby or special interest. Additional usernames and email
addresses, up to a total of four per eVilla device, can be set up
once your eVilla account is registered. Not only does each user
have a unique username and email address, they can save their
own favorite Web sites and have their own email address book.
Each user logs in using their own username and password.
You only need to enter your username here. Your eVilla device
automatically enters the rest of the address that identifies your
Internet access account as an eVilla account.
Example:
12
The username is the part of your email address that is
individualized and makes your address completely unique.
An email address has three parts:
n the username
(should be between 6 and 20 characters long)
n the @ symbol
n the hostname/domain of the user,
eVilla.com for e Villa Network Entertainment Center
users.
Example:
myname@evilla.com—Pronounced “my name at e Villa dot com.”
note
It’s possible that the username you want is
already being used by someone else, so be
prepared with a couple of possibilities.
Entering a Password
Enter a password that is easy for you to remember, but hard for
others to guess. It is best not to use your birth date or your
name. Combining letters and numbers is a good strategy. Write
a hint for yourself on the inside front cover of this guide as a
reminder in case you forget your password.
note
If you do forget your password, don’t worry. Call
the toll-free number listed on the inside front cover.
Case Sensitivity
Your username and password are case sensitive. When you
enter them in the registration screen, be sure to note how you
typed them. For example, if your password is Fido, you must
type it that way (not fido or FIDO) to access your account later.
For more information. . .
on adding other users to your account, look up “Setup” in the
eGuide.

COMING HOME

communication (called email). Each user (up to four) has a
private room.
If there are several people using your system, you must log in
before you can access your account. When you power on, the

Dialing Up
The system is set up to allow you to work offline until you are
ready to access the Web or send email. As soon as you select an
option that requires you to be online, such as looking for a Web
site or sending an email, a message appears asking if you want
to go online. If you select OK, the device dials up automatically
and you hear the distinctive sounds that indicate dial up.
When you’re online, if there is no Internet activity for several
minutes the device automatically terminates the connection. If
that happens and you again want to work online, simply
continue what you were doing. As soon as you select an option
that requires you to be online, the “going online” message
appears and the device dials up.
note
In Setup, you can select the amount of time the
system is idle before automatically disconnecting

The Media Player
When you choose to play a music or video file from a storage
device (see page 24 for information on storage devices) or from
the Internet, the Media Player opens at the bottom of the screen
above the Tray.
The Media Player allows you to listen to music and watch
streaming video content in popular Internet formats.
The File Manager
When you select any of the storage device icons (see Hardware
Icons on page24), the File Manager expands below the Tray at
the bottom of the screen.
All the files you have stored on that storage device are listed in
one of four categories: audio, images, text and other. The
device knows what a file’s category is based on the extension
(the three letters that follow the dot). For example, a music file
might have the extension .mp3; an image file (picture) might
have a .jpg extension. The File Manager is only accessible
through external storage media (Memory Stick card or Zip disk)
or your online storage.
23
The Hardware Icons
The hardware icons are located on the Tray (see page 22). They
let you know what other accessories are connected to your
e Villa Network Entertainment Center, whether they’re on and if
they’re available for you to use. Only the accessories actually
connected to the device will appear in this area. For example, if
you have a printer connected, you will see the printer icon.
Sony Memory Stick® storage media — Purchased Separately —
Memory Stick IC recording media, similar to floppy disks used
with a computer, provide storage of files offline — meaning you
don’t have to be connected to the Internet. There is a slot on the
front of the device especially for these versatile storage media.
They are portable, which means they can be used to share your
files with other electronic products, such as digital cameras,
camcorders, personal organizers and other electronic devices. If
there is no Memory Stick card in the Memory Stick media slot,
this icon will be “faded,” indicating it is not ready to be used.
note
Iomega® USB Zip® drive — Purchased Separately — A USB
Zip drive is another type of external file storage. An Iomega USB
Zip drive plugs directly into one of the USB ports, quickly and
easily allowing files to be stored on portable Zip disks.
If you have an external USB Zip drive connected to your device,
the ZIP DRIVE icon appears in the lower left corner with the other
hardware icons. If there is no Zip disk in the drive, the icon will
be “faded,” indicating it is not ready to be used. If you do not
have a USB Zip drive connected, this icon does not appear.
note
Memory Stick media are sold separately and can be
purchased from a local Sony retailer or online. To
purchase them online, click the web tab and type
sony.com/eVilla in the URL. The site has instructions
on purchasing eVilla-supported products.
Zip disks must be used when saving to a USB Zip
drive. Zip disks come in two sizes: 100MB and 250MB.
The 100MB disks can be used in either a 100MB or a
250MB USB Zip drive. The 250MB disks can only be
used in a 250MB USB Zip drive. Be sure you purchase
the proper size disk for your USB Zip drive.
24
The Hardware Icons - cont.
USB Printer — Purchased Separately — Having a printer allows
you to print out Web pages, email, photographs and more.
The e Villa Network Entertainment Center supports a wide
variety of printers. Go to the e Villa Web site, sony.com/eVilla,
for a current list of supported printers. If you have connected a
USB printer via one of the USB ports, the PRINTER icon appears
in the lower left corner with the other hardware icons. If the
printer is not on, the icon will be “faded,” indicating it is not
ready to be used. If you do not have a printer connected, this
icon does not appear.
note
See “Connecting Additional Accessories” on
page29 for instructions on connecting a printer or
an external Zip drive. Go to the eVilla Web site,
sony.com/eVilla, for information on which printers
and external storage devices are supported with
the eVilla Network Entertainment Center.

LEAVING HOME
Ready to end your session and leave the eVilla device?—Simple!
There are some items you’ll want to keep in mind. This section
takes you through a few of the things to consider.
Saving Favorite Web Sites or Email Drafts
If you’re in a Web site that you think you will want to go back to,
consider saving it to your Favorites before you end your session.
For more information. . .
on saving favorite Web sites, look up “Favorites” in the eGuide.
Or, if you are writing an email that is not yet complete, you
might want to save it as a draft so you can come back to it later.
For more information. . .
on saving email drafts, look up “Saving Drafts” in the eGuide.
26
Logging Out
If there are other people registered to use your device and you
don’t want them to have access to your email, favorite Web
sites or address book, it’s a good idea to log out and disconnect
from the Internet when you finish. Logging out ensures that the
next person to use the device uses their own username and
password to log in to their personal information.
To log out, click the LOG OUT icon on the Tray in the lower right
hand corner of the screen.
tip
Don’t share your username and password with
anyone, unless you want them to have access to
your private email and information.
Hanging up
If you log out when you finish, a window appears giving you the
option to hang up at that time. If you don’t log out, be sure to
disconnect from the Internet when you are finished by clicking
the ONLINE button on the Status Bar in the lower right corner of
the screen. Pressing the POWER button will also automatically
disconnect you from the Internet.
note
There are several things you can do offline. That means you do
not have to be connected to the Internet to view recent email,
look at your address book, look through files on external storage
devices, and much more.
If your Internet connection is inactive for several
minutes, it is automatically disconnected. When
you want to reconnect, simply select a function
that requires being online (such as sending an
email) and the device prompts you to reconnect.
For more information. . .
on what you can do offline, look up “Working Offline” in the
eGuide.
Powering Off
After you have disconnected your Internet connection, press the
POWER button to shut down. There is also a power save mode to
protect the screen and reduce electricity requirements. If the
e Villa device is on but has not been used for a while, the screen
goes dark and the power indicator light turns amber to let you
know it is sleeping. Move the scroll mouse or press any key on
the keyboard to bring the screen back on.

SOLVING PROBLEMS
The power light doesn’t come on
n Check that the AC power cord is securely connected to the device and
plugged into the wall outlet.
n Check that the wall outlet is working correctly by plugging in something
that you know works.
n Firmly press the POWER button on the front panel of the device. It
should glow green.
There is no picture on the screen
n Check that the AC power cord is securely connected to the device and
plugged into the wall outlet.
n If the POWER button is glowing amber, the unit is in “sleep” mode. If the
unit has not been used for a little while, the screen goes dark to
conserve energy. Move the scroll mouse or press any key on the
keyboard to bring the display back on.
n The display may be turned off. Turn it on by pressing the POWER button
on the front of the e Villa device.
Cursor doesn’t move properly or doesn’t move at all
n Check that the mouse cable is plugged securely into the connection on
the back of the unit.
Sound is too low or too high or there is no sound at all
n Adjust the volume accordingly using the up/down VOLUME buttons
located on the front of the device.
n Check the rear connector panel to ensure that nothing, other than
speakers, is plugged into the speaker connector.
I am unable to connect to the Internet
n Check that the phone cord is securely plugged into the back of the
device and into the phone jack on the wall.
n Make sure that no one else in the house is using a telephone connected
to the phone line your e Villa device is trying to dial from.
n Check that the phone jack is working properly by plugging a working
telephone into it.
The device is behaving abnormally or is unresponsive
n You may have to reset the device by slowly inserting a pushpin, or other
similar item, into the sytem reset hole. The system will shut down and
restart.
The picture is not centered or sized properly
n Click the SETUP icon, then click DISPLAY. You can change the size,
proportions, brightness, contrast and more.
The keyboard isn’t functioning
n Be sure the keyboard is securely plugged into the back of the device.
There’s a black/gray line running down the screen’s right side
n This is normal for the Trinitron monitor and is not a malfunction. It is a
shadow from the damper wire used to stabilize the aperture grille and is
most noticeable when the screen’s background is light (usually white).
The aperture grille is the essential element that makes a Trinitron
picture tube unique by allowing more light to reach the screen, resulting
in a brighter, more detailed picture.
There is no picture and the power light continually flashes
amber or alternates between amber and green
n Unplug the AC Power Cord, waiting one minute before reconnecting.
n If condition continues, unplug the AC Power Cord and please contact
Customer Support.
