i.LINK® Interface
Your notebook comes equipped with an i.LINK S400 port. The port is a
digital interface (IEEE1394) for high-speed communication. By using your
notebook, a Sony Digital Handycam® Camcorder or other compatible camera
that supports the i.LINK interface, the DVgate™ software preinstalled on your
computer, and the i.LINK interface, you can easily create and edit your own
home videos. For more information on connecting an i.LINK device, see
“Connecting an i.LINK® device” on page 51.
Connecting an i.LINK® device
Your VAIO® notebook includes an i.LINK (IEEE1394) connector, which you
can use to connect to an i.LINK device such as a compatible digital video camera
recorder.
To connect a Digital Video Camera Recorder
Plug one end of an i.LINK cable into the  S400 connector on the right side of
the computer and the other end into the DV In/Out connector on the digital video
camera recorder. If your digital video camera recorder includes a Memory Stick
slot, you can copy images from it to your computer via a Memory Stick media.
Copy images to the Memory Stick media and insert the media into the Memory
Stick slot on your computer. For details on using Memory Stick, see “Using
Memory Stick® Media” on page 57.
