shipment settings) in the hard disk drive consuming approximately 5GB in size. *4 This product is designed to playback discs that conform to the Compact Disc Digital
Audio standard specifications (CD Standard). A DualDisc is a two sided disc product which mates DVD recorded material on one side with digital audio material on the

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. *10 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. *11 This product may only function with a genuine Sony battery designed for this model. *12 Estimated battery life (under JEITA
