* i.LINK is a Sony trademark used to designate that a product contains an IEEE 1394 connec-

system, and compatible i.LINK devices. All products with an i.LINK connector may not
communicate with each other. Refer to the documentation that came with you r compatible
i.LINK device for information on operating conditions and proper connection. Before c on-

drive, confirm their operating system compatibility and required operating conditions.
✍The computers may not recognize an i.LINK connection after returning from a power
saving mode (Standby or Hibernate). If that happens, restart the computers to
establish a connection.
