9.0 AIBO Preview Window The AIBO window is intended for reviewing performance skits on your PC before uploading them to AIBO, or writing them to a memory stick. It can also be used for editing AIBO's posture directly  if you like. The AIBO Window is similar to the small motion editor preview.  However it is larger, and has controls for navigating the performance  -- similar to the Windows Media player.   Motion, Lights/LED's & Sound are synchronized together. The "AIBO Window" can be enlarged full-screen size, although a 3D accelerated video card might be required for good performance. Toggle the AIBO Window on/off from "View Menu -> AIBO Window".
