Watching a D-VHS image

What is i.LINK?

i.LINK is a digital serial interface for handling digital
video, digital audio, and other data in two directions.
i.LINK is Sony's term for the IEEE 1394 data transport
bus. Digital AV equipment compatible with i.LINK can
be connected using a single i.LINK cable. The i.LINK
interface allows this PDP system to control one of up to
two i.LINK compatible devices (in connection) that can
be identified.

Which i.LINK devices are connectable?

For i.LINK devices, this system supports only D-VHS
recorders. The i.LINK terminals on this system cannot
be connected with other equipment such as DVD
recorders, digital video cameras, personal computers,
and PC peripheral devices because of differences in the
specifications.
