Notes on connecting i.LINK devices
❑
Your computer is equipped with an i.LINK port, which you can use to connect to an i.LINK device such as a digital video
camcorder or to connect two VAIO computers in order to copy, delete or edit files.
❑
The i.LINK port on your computer does not supply power to external devices generally powered by i.LINK ports.
❑
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.
❑
i.LINK cables compatible with your computer include cables with the following part numbers:
VMC-IL4415 (a 1.5 meter cable with a 4-pin connector at each end) and VMC-IL4408 Series (a 0.8 meter cable with a 4-
pin connector at each end).
❑
The optional i.LINK cables may not be available, depending on the country or area of your residency.
❑
An i.LINK connection with other compatible devices is not fully guaranteed.
❑
The i.LINK connection varies 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 OS compatibility of i.LINK-compatible PC peripherals (for example, an HDD or a CD-
RW drive) before you connect them to your computer.
