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 manual import/export in DVGate motion if 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.
