Troubleshooting i.LINK devices
I cannot establish an i.LINK connection between two VAIO computers
❑
You must have administrator rights on your computer to be able to link the two.
❑
Disconnect then reconnect the i.LINK cable.
❑
If you still have no connection after waiting for a while, restart both computers.
❑
If either computer has just returned from a power saving mode, the connection may be affected. In this
case, make sure you perform a full restart before connecting them.
❑
Check that both units are in the same workgroup, and that the
Sharing
option is enabled.
When I record images to a digital video device using DVgate, I see an error message
❑
Close all open applications and restart your computer. Frequently recording images to a digital video
device while using
DVgate
sometimes causes this error.
❑
Your DV device will need to have DV In/Out in order to be able to transfer your files to the DV device.
I cannot use digital devices
❑
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. If this is the case, turn off all connected devices and disconnect unused devices. Check the
connection and then turn on the power again.
❑
You are strongly advised to use only Sony i.LINK cables, as using other brands may cause problems with
the i.LINK devices.
