Network Media Receiver Today's personal computers are increasingly important repositories of audio and video entertainment. The ability to download, store and play music is rapidly being joined by the ability to digitally record television shows onto the PC hard drive. Sony's own Giga Pocket™ personal video recorder brings exactly this TV recording function to selected Sony VAIO® PCs. In many homes, entertainment from the PC can be distributed throughout the home via Ethernet cable or 802.11a wireless network. What's been missing is a device to convert this entertainment from the IP language of networking to the audio/video outputs required for a home theater system. About the size of a paperback book, the PCNA-MR10 RoomLink™ media receiver delivers home entertainment content from a compatible PC to your home theater system! Now Sony meets this need with the PCNA-MR10 RoomLink™ media receiver. The receiver has an Ethernet port on one side, and audio/video outputs on the other. It can deliver music, digital still pictures, video and live television from compatible VAIO PCs with VAIO Media™ software installed. Using the RoomLink receiver remote control, you can browse menus on your television screen, giving you access to the entertainment on your PC! The Sony Guide to Home Theater 15
