About peripherals
I cannot use DV devices. The message DV equipment seems to be disconnected or turned off appears
Check that the DV device is turned on and that the cables are properly connected.
If you are using multiple i.LINK™ devices, the combination of the connected devices may cause unstable
operation. In this case, turn off the power of all connected devices and disconnect unused devices. Check
the connection and then turn on the power again.
I cannot print
Check that all the cables of the printer are correctly connected.
Check that your printer is correctly configured and that you have up-to-date drivers. If needed, contact
your dealer.
The default setting for the printer port mode is correct for most printers. If you cannot print, try
changing the printer port mode. In
Sony Notebook Setup
, select the
Printer
tab. If the printer port
mode is set to ECP, change it to bi-directional. If the printer port mode is set to bi-directional, change it
to ECP.
About digital video captures and DVgate
While I am recording images to a digital video device using DVgate, my system displays the message
Recording to DV device failed. Check the power and cable connections to the DV device and try the
operation again...
Close all open applications and restart your computer. Frequent recording of images to a digital video device
while using DVgate sometimes causes this error.
