✍The Sony digital video camera recorder (DCR-PC7) 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 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 C1 PictureBook Computer 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.
