Setting up a game console on the VGC-VA1

whsvaio — Mon, 27 Mar 2006 11:55:40 GMT

HI,
Would anyone know if a game console can be set up and connected to the VGC-VA1, I am unfamiliar with the programs that came with this PC.
I have connected the cable to the composite port but none of the programs seem to get access to view it.
(I have a PCV-V1/G which uses Gigapocket and had no problems setting it up.)
Any help would be great, Thanks for reading.

You can do it, but you'll notice a delay

Hi Kee-Lo, would you know what software to use? Thanks.

Select an external source in VAIO Zone

I found that the ps2 looked pants through my system, and its no slouch.

Hi Jumpsuit,
I like to ask which program/software you used?
I don't seem to have VAIO Zone as kee-lo suggest.

Thanks.

Have you made your recovery DVDs yet?

Hi whsvaio, I used Giga Pocket explorer because I have a coaxial aerial input in the back of the Vaio.

Yup, the Recovery DVDS been made.
My VGC-VA1 does not come with neither Vaio Zone nor Giga Pocket explorer.
I've tried Intervideo Home Theater 2, it works but theres no sound

Is this a Windows Media Centre box?

Can you select an input in TV mode?

Unfortunately not . It would have been much easier if it came with Giga Pocket.
For a PC that's just came out, I would have thought that it comes equipped with everything, especially with softwares to view devices plugged to the composite port
