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).

Connecting an S/PDIF device

The S/PDIF (Sony/Philips Digital Interface) port on your computer allows you to transfer audio files to optical devices. The advantage
is that is does not use the conversion to and from an analog format, which could degrade the signal quality.
Please read the documentation provided with your optical device for connection information.

Connecting a microphone

Your VAIO desktop does not contain an internal microphone. If you need to use a sound input device, for example to chat on the
Internet, you need to plug in an external microphone.
To connect an external microphone, plug the microphone cable into the microphone connector identified by the symbol . You can
find a microphone connector on the front as well as the back of your PC.
✍
Make sure your microphone is designed for computer use.
