Using IEEE1394 Devices
You can connect the IEEE 1394 devices to the IEEE1394 port on the rear side of the
computer. The IEEE 1394 is a digital interface for handling digital video, digital audio
and other data in two directions between devices, and for controlling other
equipments.
When two or more IEEE 1394 compatible devices are connected to the computer in a
daisy chain, operations and data transactions are possible with not only the equipment
that is directly connected, but also with other devices via the directly connected
device.

Use AC power for the computer and the IEEE 1394 device especially
when reading/writing the data.
•
Some IEEE 1394 devices require that you install drivers before use.
