User's Manual
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.
