i.LINK (IEEE1394)
i.LINK, also known as IEEE1394, is used for high-speed data transfer
between a range of compatible devices such as:
■ Digital video cameras
■ Hard disk drives
■ Magneto Optical drives
■ Writable optical disc drives
Precautions
■ Make a back-up of your data before transferring it to the computer in
order to avoid the possibility that the original data will be damaged.
With regard to this, there is a particular risk that some frames will be
deleted in the case of digital video transfer - TOSHIBA assumes no
liability for such loss of data.
■ Do not transfer data in areas where static electricity is easily
generated or in areas subjected to electronic noise - this can result
in data being destroyed.
■ If you are transferring data through an IEEE1394 hub, do not
connect or disconnect other devices from the hub during the transfer
operation - there is a likelihood that data will be damaged. In
addition, you should connect all required devices to the hub before
you turn on the computer's power.
■ You may not use any copyrighted video or music data copied from a
video camera except for your personal enjoyment.
■ If you connect/disconnect an i.LINK device to/from another i.LINK
device that is currently exchanging data with the computer, data
frames may be dropped.
■ Make sure data transfer has ended or turn off the computer, before
you:
■ Connect/disconnect an i.LINK device to/from the computer.
■ Connect/disconnect an i.LINK device to/from another i.LINK
device that is connected to the computer.
Please note that i.LINK uses a four-pin connector which does not carry any
power - therefore, any external device will need its own power supply in
order to operate.
