Troubleshooting i.LINK devices

 

Hardware

I cannot establish an i.LINK connection between two VAIO computers

 

 

 

 

You must have administrator rights on your computer to be able to link the two.

 

 

Disconnect then reconnect the i.LINK cable.

 

 

If you still have no connection after waiting for a while, restart both computers.

 

 

If either computer has just returned from a power saving mode, the connection may be affected. In this

 

case, make sure you perform a full restart before connecting them.

 

When I record images to a digital video device using DVgate, I see an error message

Close all open applications and restart your computer. Frequent recording of images to a digital video device while using DVgate sometimes causes this error.

Your DV device will need to have DV In/Out in order to be able to transfer your files to the DV device.

Check that both units are in the same workgroup, and that the Sharing option is enabled.

I cannot use digital devices

Check that the DV device is turned on and that the cables are properly connected.

If you are using multiple i.LINK devices, the combination of the connected devices may cause unstable operation. If this is the case, turn off all connected devices and disconnect unused devices. Check the connection and then turn on the power again.

You are strongly advised to use only Sony i.LINK cables, as using other brands may cause problems with the i.LINK devices.
