Connecting an i.LINK device

✍The Sony digital video camera recorder is pictured; your digital video camera recorder may need to be connected differently.

On Sony digital video cameras, connectors labeled “DV In/Out” or “i.LINK” are i.LINK- compatible.

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

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

The VAIO Z505 SuperSlim Pro notebook supports transfer rates up to 200 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.

See page 37 for a list of i.LINK cables compatible with your VAIO Z505 SuperSlim Pro notebook.

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