Notes on i.LINK devices

The above figure displays connection to a Sony digital video camera; your digital video camera recorder may need to
be connected differently.

Only Sony digital video cameras and ports labeled "DV In/Out" or "i.LINK" are compatible i.LINK devices.
 See the manual that came with your digital video camera recorder for more information on installation and use.
 The i.LINK port does not supply power to external devices. If the external device requires power from the i.LINK
port, you cannot use the device with your computer.

The VAIO computer supports transfer rates up to 400 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.
 You can connect a digital video camera to the i.LINK port on your computer or the i.LINK port on the optional port
replicator. When a camera is connected to the i.LINK port on the computer, you should not connect any other
devices to the i.LINK port on the port replicator. When a camera is connected to the i.LINK port on the port
replicator, you should not connect any other devices to the i.LINK port on the computer.

1.5-meter cable with a 4-pin connector at each end), VMC-IL4615A (a 1.5-meter cable with a 4-pin connector at one
