Connecting an i.LINK device

 

User

 

Your computer includes an i.LINK™ (IEEE1394) connector, which you can use to connect to an i.LINK™ device

 

Notebook

such as a digital video camera recorder or to connect two VAIO notebooks in order to copy, delete or edit

files.

 

 

 

 

The i.LINK™ connector of your notebook does not supply power to external devices generally powered by

 

i.LINK™ connectors.

The i.LINK™ connector supports transfer rates up to 400 Mbps; however, the actual transfer rate depends

on the transfer rate of the external device.

 

 

 

 

The i.LINK™ features available may vary depending on the software applications you use. Refer to the

 

documentation that came with your software for more information.

 

 

i.LINKTM cables compatible with your VAIO notebook include cables with the following part numbers:

 

VMC-IL4415A (a 1.5 meter cable with a 4-pin connector at each end), VMC-IL4408Series (a 0.8 meter cable

 

with a 4-pin connector at each end).

 

 

￿ An i. LINKTM connection with other compatible devices is not fully guaranteed.

 

The i. LINKTM connection varies depending on the software applications, operating system and i. LINK(TM) compatible devices you use. Refer to the documentation that came with your software for more information.

Check the working conditions and OS compatibility of i.LINK-compatible PC peripherals (HDD, CD-RW drive etc.) before you connect them to your notebook.
