nemo66 — Wed, 10 Nov 2004 19:49:55 GMT

Hello to all VGC-V2S users.
I have a problem recording tv from VaioZone.
Also i can´t choose the hard drive in the tools menu, it stucks at C: drive.
As i push the record button (also on remote controller) it tells me that no drive is assignet to recording programm.
Choose a drive and try again!!!

Please help somebody!

THX in advance

Nemo66, we have been very busy at the moment I'm afraid - give your problem a few days and i'm sure somebody with a helpful answer will be able to help you.

Please note that some questions can take several days before you get an answer - patience is key!:smileywink: :smileygrin:

I would help, but I don;t even know what "VaioZone" is! LOL.

James, VaioZone is the new (on the VGC-V2S series) integrated all in-one starter (or quickstarter) application where u can choose from watching and recording TV, pictures, music and burn CDs.

Seems that noone has the new machine?!?

-anyway....long time i can´t wait, sure a couple of days will be no problem, but after that i will return the machine.
I got a 14 day return/moneyback policy....so if the problem will not be resolved i will likely send it back.

All other functions are working great....just this one wont coope.
I think it´s a software problem....

Regards,

Well...after that yesterday i called Sony-Support, a nice man told me he will call me back till 12-13 same day....nothing happened.
As for today i called again....answer: WAIT!

For what?

I suppose they don´t sell "BUGGY MACHINES" or do they?
If nobody can/will help me to solve this problem asap, i will return this machine next week.
I don´t buy´d just to use half of functions.
I am really angry now....not expected this from a SONY...

So i will call Cyberport and ask them for getting the whole thing back....

Thinking of buying a APPLE iMac 20"

Also (if) i will return the Vaio Pocket....getting the iPod Photo!

Any toughts?

PS-i am new here....but as i said...really angry... so sorry if i get too indeep (SONY).

Regards,
nemo66

As it's very new technology, only a minority know how to use it.

The iPod photo is good, but no video is a bit sucky

The video players are too big - Steve Jobs says so and he is right.

nemo66 — Fri, 12 Nov 2004 21:55:54 GMT

Kee-Lo...it´s not about how to use it...it´s about how to getting it to work.
As for new technology...at least the SONY-Support should be able to help (quickly).

Apple iPod=No Video
PocketVaio=NoVideo

So where´s the difference?

Oooh so VP doesn't support video!?
Cool
Then iPod Photo you should get

Re: VGC-V2S Can´t record from TV/VaioZone

robpaxton — Fri, 12 Nov 2004 22:52:45 GMT

Apple iPod=No Video
PocketVaio=NoVideo

So where´s the difference?

nemo66

The iPod is a more complete device - music/photo slideshows etc. And it doesn't rely on nasty SonicStage software.

Well,

I get my V2S yesterday. The first message i have read after registering on club vaio is yours, nemo66.
So i tried to recording tv with vaio zone and it had works.

In the tool menu, target drive is 😧 but the recorded video is stored in d:\VAIO Entertainment directory.

Sorry for my approximate english.

THX fabx....i already know that.
But this don´t bring me further....i still can´t change the drive.
It self resets to C: and after that it tells me no drive assigned.

DAMN, this is wierd!!!

nemo66

PS.Conratulation to ur V2S....indeed a great machine...can´t even compare to iMAC 20"....(but i shall exchange mine with it if no solution...):smileyconfused:

Re: VGC-V2S Can´t record from TV/VaioZone

nemo66 — Mon, 15 Nov 2004 16:59:40 GMT

STILL NO SOLUTION.
Seems that SONY is not interested in selling the V2S.
As of wednesday i think i will return the V2S if no solution till than.

You love returning Sony gear don't you?

Re: VGC-V2S Can´t record from TV/VaioZone

nemo66 — Mon, 15 Nov 2004 17:03:31 GMT

Kee-Lo, if u believe or not, this one would be the "FIRST" Sony i returned since i buy/own SONY gears.

Re: VGC-V2S Can´t record from TV/VaioZone

kee-lo_ — Mon, 15 Nov 2004 17:06:21 GMT

I hate returning stuff, you always get attitude from staff, a snear - a moan!

Re: VGC-V2S Can´t record from TV/VaioZone

nemo66 — Mon, 15 Nov 2004 17:27:14 GMT

I retuned verry few things in my life, only the ones with big malfunctions, design and material defects.
In this case it´s about 2500 Euros that i can invest better and smarter...as i already wrote, i am seriously thinking about APPLE!!! :smileygrin:

PS.but only if SONY does not find a solution...till now they not called me back as promised.:smileysad:
