An all-in-one media center
If you're new to media center lingo, it helps to think of the VAIO® VGXTP20EB as more of an amped up computer than anything. Capable of playing, streaming, and storing a large array of digital files, it does the work of several components. That means you can replace the tangled cable and component clutter you call your home entertainment setup with the VGXTP20EB. When connected to your TV, the media center becomes . . . are you ready? It becomes a digital photo recorder, music and video player, TV receiver, and digital video recorder. Packed with a 500 GB hard drive, a 2.1 GHz 64-bit Intel Core 2 Duo processor, and fast ethernet networking, you're ready to ride the digital train in style.
DVR recording capabilities
Oh drat! You have a parent-teacher meeting that's scheduled during Gray's Anatomy, your favorite TV show. No worries, you can be a responsible parent without missing an episode. Your VGXTP20EB's got you covered thanks to digital video recording (DVR). Record Gray's Anatomy from either the media center itself or remotely, via any computer or mobile phone on the Internet. Remember, the VGXTP20EB is Internet equipped, so you can tell it what do from miles away.
Photo friendly
You've just returned from your vacation to Italy. Time to view the JPEG images on the big screen just pop your flash card out of your digital camera and into the VGXTP20EB . . . and there's a picture of you sipping wine at sunset on the big screen. Beautiful shot. Compatibility with all sorts of flash memory cards (see details page) means you can view your JPEGS or HD camcorder footage on the big screen via the VGXTP20EB.
