Troubleshooting i.LINK devices

I cannot establish a connection between two VAIO computers
when using an i.LINK cable.

1

Disconnect the i.LINK®

*

cable from both computers and reconnect it.

2

Wait for the computers to respond. If neither computer responds after a few
moments, restart both computers.

I cannot export images to a digital video (DV) device.

Images that were taken with your computer using MovieShaker or DVgate
software may not properly export to a DV device when it is connected to your
computer via an i.LINK® cable. To export the images correctly, follow these
steps:

1

Right-click

the CPU: Performance Profile: AC Power icon on the

Windows® taskbar.

2

Select Profile, and click DV.

Setting your system to DV is only recommended for exporting images to a DV
device. Once you finish exporting the images to a DV device, set the PowerPanel
profile back to the default setting.

* i.LINK is a Sony trademark used only to designate that a product contains an IEEE 1394 con-

nection. The i.LINK connection may vary, depending on the software applications, operating
system, and compatible i.LINK devices. All products with an i.LINK connection may not
communicate with each other. Refer to the documentation that came with your compatible
i.LINK device for information on operating conditions and proper connection. Before con-
necting compatible i.LINK PC peripherals to your system, such as a CD-RW or hard disk
drive, confirm their operating system compatibility and required operating conditions.

The computers may not recognize an i.LINK connection after returning from a power
saving mode (Standby or Hibernate). If that happens, restart the computers to
establish a connection.
