VGP-XL1B User Guide

Connecting Multiple Changers

The Sony

®

VGP-XL1B Changers/Recorders are IEEE 1394

(FireWire) devices and can be connected together in a network or
daisy-chain configuration to the host computer to increase storage
capacity for your media library.

Multiple Changer Limitations

When daisy-chaining/connecting additional changers, only
Sony

®

VGP-XL1B Changer/Recorders are supported.

All other media (Audio CDs, data CDs/DVDs, blank CDs/DVDs
can only be accessed in Media Center from the Changer with
the

lowest serial number

.

DVD-Video discs in all Changers can be viewed and accessed
from

TV+Movies > DVD Library

located on the Media Center

Start menu.

Due to these limitations, it is recommended that you place DVD-
Video discs in the changer(s) with the higher serial numbers and
all other media disc types in the changer with the lowest serial
number, if possible.

Note

: Sony supports up to five VGP-XL1B Changer/Recorders.

Functionality is limited when multiple Changers are daisy chained
(connected) to the host computer. (See below.)

Important Note

: The Sony

®

VGP-XL1B Changer/Recorder with

the lowest serial number should be connected directly to the host
computer. Then connect (daisy-chain) other Changers to it.
