Setting Up Your Sony PC

Your Sony PC comes with the software titles preinstalled on your hard disk drive. Just follow these simple steps to connect the cables and turn on the PC, and your Sony PC is ready to use.

Unpacking Your PC

Remove the following items from the box:
System Unit
Display
(Sold Separately)
Power Cord
Phone Cable
You can find the complete list of the items that come with your PC in the About Your Sony PC guide, located in the Sony folder in the Windows Start menu.
If you purchased a Sony Multimedia Computer Display, it includes built-in speakers and a microphone. For other displays, you may need separate speakers and a microphone to use the Sony PC's audio features.

Choosing a Location for Your PC

Here are some things to consider when planning your workspace:
Stable work surface—Use a stable work surface large enough to support the computer, the display, and other equipment.
Ventilation—Leave at least eight inches of space on the left and back sides of your PC to enable proper ventilation.
Placement of the keyboard, mouse, and other input devices—Place your keyboard, mouse, and other input devices so that your arms and hands are in a relaxed, comfortable position. The keyboard should be directly in front of you. Adjust the level of the keyboard so that your lower arms are parallel to the floor. Keep your wrists in a relaxed position when you’re using the keyboard—not angled up or down. Use the palmrest only briefly, for resting. While typing, never use the palmrest or rest your hands on the table. Position the mouse at the same level as the keyboard. Hold the mouse with a relaxed hand, and use your whole arm to move it. Take breaks during sessions with
your PC. Excessive use of the mouse or a joystick may strain muscles
or tendons.
Choosing a Location for Your PC
□ Furniture and posture—Sit in a chair with good back support and
armrests. Adjust the level of the chair so your feet are flat on the floor. A footrest may make you more comfortable. Sit in a relaxed, upright posture—avoid slouching forward or leaning far backward.
□ Viewing angle of the display—Position the display 18 to 26 inches
directly in front of you, with the top of the screen at or a little below eye level. Use the display’s tilting feature to find the best position.
You can reduce eye strain and muscle fatigue by placing the display
in the proper position.
□ Lighting—Choose a location where windows and lights do not create
glare and reflection on the display. Use indirect lighting to avoid bright spots on the display. You can also purchase accessories for
your display that help reduce glare. Proper lighting adds to your
comfort and work effectiveness.
