Notes on i.LINK devices
The above figure displays 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 i.LINK devices.
See the manual that came with your digital video camera recorder for more information on installation and use.
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 computer.
The VAIO computer 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
came with your software for more information.
You can connect a digital video camera to the i.LINK port on your computer or the i.LINK port on the optional port
replicator. When a camera is connected to the i.LINK port on the computer, you should not connect any other
devices to the i.LINK port on the port replicator. When a camera is connected to the i.LINK port on the port
replicator, you should not connect any other devices to the i.LINK port on the computer.
i.LINK* cables compatible with your VAIO computer include cables with the following part numbers: VMC-IL4415A (a
1.5-meter cable with a 4-pin connector at each end), VMC-IL4615A (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

) or by calling 1-888-315-7669 (toll free).
