Troubleshooting i.LINK devices

I cannot establish an i.LINK connection between two VAIO computers

❑

You must have administrator rights on your computer to be able to link the two.

❑

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.

When I record images to a digital video device using 

DVgate Plus

, I see an error message

❑

Close all open applications and restart your computer. Frequent recording of images to a digital video device while using 

DVgate 

Plus

 sometimes causes this error.

❑

Your DV device will need to have DV In/Out in order to be able to transfer your files to the DV device.

❑

Check that both units are in the same workgroup, and that the 

Sharing 

option is enabled.

❑

If the second computer has a different operating system (for example, Windows 2000), you need a software application such as 
Smart Connect.

I cannot use digital devices

❑

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. If this is the 
case, turn off all connected devices and disconnect unused devices. Check the connection and then turn on the power again.

❑

You are strongly advised to use only Sony i.LINK cables, as using other brands may cause problems with the i.LINK devices.
