Sony Notebook Computer User Guide
✍The software limits the use of more than one digital video camera recorder or i.LINK™ device at the same time.
On Sony digital video cameras,
connectors labeled “DV Out”, “DV In/Out” or “i.LINK™” are i.LINK™- compatible.
The i.LINK™ connector of your notebook computer 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. Please refer to the documentation that came with your software for more information.

Your computer includes an i.LINK (IEEE1394) connector, which you can use to connect to an i.LINK™ device such as a digital video camera recorder.
