I cannot establish an i.LINK™ connection between two VAIO computers
❑
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.
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.
❑
Use the manual import/export in DVgate Motion if the problems occur with third party cameras.
❑
You are strongly advised to use only Sony i.LINK™ cables, as using other brands may cause problems with
the i.LINK™ devices.

I cannot print
❑
Check that all the cables of the printer are properly connected.
❑
Check the cable to see if the pins/connectors are not bent or missing completely.
❑
Check the manual supplied with your printer for troubleshooting solutions.
❑
Try a printer self test (if available) to see if the printer itself is still working properly. For more
information, please consult the manual supplied with your printer.
