Connecting an i.LINK Device
Your VAIO ® notebook includes a i.LINK ® 1 (IEEE 1394) S400 port. This port is a digital interface (IEEE1394) for
high-speed communication. You can use the i.LINK port to connect to a compatible i.LINK device, such as a Sony
Digital Handycam
® Camcorder or other compatible camera that supports the i.LINK interface.
To connect a digital video camera recorder
Plug one end of an optional i.LINK cable into the S400 port on the right side of the notebook and plug the other end
into the DV In/Out port on the digital video camera recorder. If your digital video camera recorder includes a Memory
Stick
® media slot, you can copy images from it to your notebook via a Memory Stick media. Copy images to the
Memory Stick media and insert the media into the Memory Stick media slot on your notebook. See Using Memory
Stick Media for more information.
Connecting a Digital Video Camera Recorder
See the manual that came with your digital video camera recorder for more information on its installation and
use.
Notes on i.LINK devices
 The above figure displays a connection to a Sony digital video camera. Your digital video camera recorder
may need to be connected differently.
 Only Sony digital video cameras, and ports labeled "DV In/Out" or "i.LINK" are compatible with an i.LINK ®
connection.
 The i.LINK port does not supply power to external devices. If the external device requires power from the
i.LINK port, you cannot use the device with your notebook.
 The VAIO ® notebook supports transfer rates up to 400 Mbps, however, the actual transfer rate is the lowest
transfer rate of the external device.
