Notes on connecting i.LINK devices
❑
Your computer is equipped with an i.LINK port, which you can use to connect an i.LINK device, such as a digital video
camcorder.
❑
The i.LINK port on your computer does not supply power to an external device. If the external device requires external
power, be sure to connect it to a power source.
❑
The i.LINK port supports transfer rates up to 400 Mbps. However, the actual transfer rate depends on the transfer rate of
the external device.
❑
The optional i.LINK cables may not be available in some countries or areas.
❑
An i.LINK connection with other compatible devices is not fully guaranteed.
❑
The i.LINK connection may not be available depending on the software applications, operating system, and i.LINK-
compatible devices you use. See the manual that came with your software for more information.
❑
Check the working conditions and operating system compatibility of i.LINK-compatible PC peripherals (for example, an
HDD or a CD-RW drive) before you connect them to your computer.
