Connecting an i.LINK device
Your VAIO computer includes a 4-pin i.LINK port on the front of the system and a 6-pin i.LINK port on the back of the system. Use
these ports
to connect an i.LINK device such as a digital video camera recorder, or to link up two VAIO computers so you can
copy, delete or edit files.
❑ The i.LINK device will need its own power supply.
❑ You are strongly advised to use only Sony i.LINK cables, as using other brands may cause problems with the i.LINK devices.
❑ The i.LINK connection may vary, depending on the software applications, operating system, and compatible i.LINK devices. Not
all products with an i.LINK connection may communicate with each other.
❑ Please refer to the documentation that came with your compatible i.LINK device and software for information on operating
conditions and proper connection.
Connecting a digital video camera recorder
To connect a digital video camera recorder, proceed as follows:
1 Plug one end of the i.LINK cable (not supplied) into the i.LINK port of the computer and the other end into the DV out port
on your digital video camera recorder.
On Sony digital video cameras, ports marked DV out, DV in/out or i.LINK are i.LINK-compatible.
2 Launch the DVgate Plus application (see the Help files within the software itself for more information).
✍ If the connected i.LINK device is not recognised, disconnect the i.LINK device, then connect it again.
Troubleshooting i.LINK devices
If you have problems with your i.LINK device, check the printed Guide to Troubleshooting and Recovering your VAIO System,
the documentation delivered with the device, and the VAIO-Link website (
www.vaio-link.com).
