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 of 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
