Connecting an i.LINK
™
device
Your computer includes an i.LINK
™
(IEEE1394) connector, which you can use to connect to an i.LINK
™
device
such as a digital video camera recorder or to connect two VAIO notebooks in order to copy, delete or edit
files.
The i.LINK
™
connector of your notebook does not supply power to external devices generally powered by
i.LINK
™
connectors.
The i.LINK
™
connector supports transfer rates up to 400 Mbps; however, the actual transfer rate depends on
the transfer rate of the external device.
i.LINK
™
cables compatible with your VAIO notebook include cables with the following part numbers:
VMC-IL4415 (a 1.5 meter cable with a 4-pin connector at each end), VMC-IL4408Series (a 0.8 meter cable with
a 4-pin connector at each end).
The software limits the use of more than 1 digital video camera recorder or i.LINK
™
device at the same time.
An i.LINK
™
connection with other compatible devices is not fully guaranteed.
The i.LINK
™
connection varies depending on the software applications, operating system and i.LINK
™
compatible devices you use. Refer to the documentation that came with your software for more
information.
You are strongly advised to use only Sony i.LINK
™
cables, as using other brands may cause problems with
the i.LINK
™
devices.
