Connecting an i.LINK Device

✍Note the following:

❑The above figure displays connection to a Sony digital video camera; your digital video camera recorder may need to be connected differently.

❑Only Sony digital video cameras and ports labeled “DV In/Out” or “i.LINK” are compatible i.LINK devices.

❑See the manual that came with your digital video camera recorder for more information on installation and use.

❑The i.LINK port does not supply power to external devices. If the external device requires power from the i.LINK port, you cannot use the device with your notebook.

❑The VAIO notebook supports transfer rates up to 400 Mbps; however, the actual transfer rate is the lowest transfer rate of the external device.

❑The i.LINK features available may vary depending on the software applications you use. See the documentation that came with your software for more information.

❑You can connect a digital video camera to the i.LINK port on your notebook or the i.LINK port on the optional port replicator. When a camera is connected to the i.LINK port on the notebook, you should not connect any other devices to the i.LINK port on the port replicator. When a camera is connected to the i.LINK port on the port replicator, you should not connect any other devices to the i.LINK port on the notebook.
