About battery life

•The battery life is limited. Battery capacity drops little by little as you use it more and more, and as time passes. When the available battery time is shortened considerably, a probable cause is that the battery pack has reached the end of its life. Please buy a new battery pack.

•The battery life varies depending on how it is stored and the operating conditions and environment for each battery pack.

About i.LINK

The DV Interface on this unit is an i.LINK- compliant DV Interface. This section describes the i.LINK standard and its features.

What is i.LINK?

i.LINK is a digital serial interface for

 

transferring digital video, digital audio,

 

and other data to other i.LINK-compatible

 

devices. You can also control other devices

 

using the i.LINK.

 

i.LINK-compatible devices can be

 

connected using an i.LINK cable.

 

Possible applications are operations and

 

data transactions with various digital AV

 

devices.

 

When two or more i.LINK-compatible

 

devices are connected to this unit in a daisy

 

chain, operations and data transactions are

 

possible with not only the device that this

 

unit is connected to but also with other

 

devices via the directly connected device.

 

Note, however, that the method of

 

operation sometimes varies according to

 

the characteristics and specifications of the

 

device to be connected. Also, operations

 

 

and data transactions may not be possible

 

on some connected devices.

Additional

• Normally, only one device can be connected

 

to this unit with the i.LINK cable. When

 

connecting this unit to an i.LINK-compatible

Information

device having two or more DV Interfaces, refer

 

to the operating instructions of the device to be

 

connected.

 

• i.LINK is a more familiar term for the IEEE

 

1394 data transport bus proposed by Sony, and

 

is a trademark approved by many corporations.

 

• IEEE 1394 is an international standard

 

standardized by the Institute of Electrical and

 

Electronics Engineers.

 

About the i.LINK Baud rate

i.LINK's maximum baud rate varies according to the device. There are three types.

S100 (approx. 100Mbps*)

S200 (approx. 200Mbps)

S400 (approx. 400Mbps)
