Important Changer/Recorder Notes:

•There are two i.LINK® ports on the back of the VGP-XL1B; however, you cannot connect this device to two different host computers at the same time.

•The remaining i.LINK® port on the back of the VGP-XL1B can be used to combine or daisy-chain up to four additional VGP- XL1B changers. This feature allows you to network up to five changers to the host computer.

Note: Sony supports up to five VGP-XL1B Changer/Recorders. See “Connecting Multiple Changers” on page 34.

•The second i.LINK® port functions as a normal 1394 port with one exception: DO NOT connect/disconnect a second 1394 device on the second port of the changer while the device is being used (burning, ripping, or playing back any type of discs.)

•Once a new device is plugged into the second i.LINK® port of the VGP-XL1B, both the changer and the second device are re- enumerated by the operating system, which could interrupt the current process running on the changer. If you encounter any problems after connecting a new 1394 device, you might need to restart the host computer.

Note: The Sony® VGP-XL1B CD/DVD Changer/Recorder is a Class 1 Laser Product.

Operating System

The operating system for the host computer must be Microsoft® Windows Vista™ Home Premium, or Ultimate.

Note: All features of the CD/DVD Changer/Recorder are controlled and accessed through Microsoft® Windows Vista™ Media Center. Additional software features have been added to Media Center to accommodate the CD/DVD Changer/Recorder.
