Connecting an i.LINK Device
Notes on connecting i.LINK devices
The computer includes an i.LINK (IEEE1394) port, which you can use to connect to an i.LINK device such as a digital
video camera recorder or to connect two VAIO computers in order to copy, delete or edit files.
The i.LINK port of the computer does not supply power to external devices generally powered by i.LINK ports.
The i.LINK port supports transfer rates up to 400 Mbps; however, the actual transfer rate depends on the transfer rate of
the external device.
i.LINK cables compatible with the computer include cables with the following part numbers:
VMC-IL4415 (a 1.5 meter cable with a 4-pin connector at each end), VMC-IL4408 Series (a 0.8 meter cable with a 4-pin
connector at each end).
An i.LINK connection with other compatible devices is not fully guaranteed.
The i.LINK connection varies depending on the software applications, operating system and i.LINK compatible devices
you use. Refer to the manual that came with your software for more information.
Check the working conditions and OS compatibility of i.LINK-compatible PC peripherals (for example, an HDD or CD-RW
drive) before you connect them to the computer.
