Notes on connecting an i.LINK device

The above figure displays a connection to a Sony digital video camera
recorder; your digital video camera recorder may need to be connected
differently.

Only Sony digital video camera ports labeled “DV In/Out” or “i.LINK” are
i.LINK-compatible.

See the manual that came with your digital video camera recorder for more
information on its installation and use.

Do not connect more than one digital video camera at a time. The software
supplied with your notebook will not recognize multiple cameras.

The i.LINK port on the notebook does not supply power to external devices.
If the external device requires power from the i.LINK port, you cannot use
the device with the notebook.

The notebook supports transfer rates up to 400 Mbps; however, the actual
transfer rate is the lowest transfer rate of the external device.

The i.LINK features available may vary depending on the software
applications you use. See the documentation that accompanied your software
for more information.

i.LINK cables compatible with your VAIO notebook include cables with the
following part numbers: VMC-IL4415 (a 1.5-meter cable with a 4-pin connector
at each end) and VMC-IL4615 (a 1.5 meter-cable with a 4-pin connector at one
end and a 6-pin connector at the other). You can purchase these cables from your
local retailer, through the Sony VAIO® sonystyle Web site
(http://www.sonystyle.com/vaio), or by calling 1-888-315-7669 (toll free).
