Connecting an i.LINK device
Your VAIO computer includes a 4-pin i.LINK port on the front of the system and a 6-pin i.LINK port on the back of the system. Use
these ports
to connect an i.LINK device such as a digital video camera recorder, or to link up two VAIO computers so you can
copy, delete or edit files.
❑
Some i.LINK devices will need their own power supply.
❑
You are strongly advised to use only Sony i.LINK cables, as using other brands may cause problems with the i.LINK devices.
❑
The i.LINK connection may vary, depending on the software applications, operating system, and compatible i.LINK devices. Not
all products with an i.LINK connection may communicate with each other.
❑
Please refer to the documentation that came with your compatible i.LINK device and software for information on operating
conditions and proper connection.
Connecting a digital camera
To connect a digital camera, proceed as follows:
1
Plug one end of the i.LINK cable (not supplied) into the i.LINK port
of the
computer and the other end into the DV out port on your digital camera. On
Sony digital cameras, ports marked DV out, DV in/out or i.LINK are i.LINK-
compatible.
2
Launch
DVgate Plus
for videos or
PictureGear Studio
for photos (see the Help
files within the software itself
for more information).
✍
If the connected i.LINK device is not recognised, disconnect then reconnect it.
Picture may vary from actual configuration.
