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 camera

To connect a digital camera, proceed as follows:
1 Plug one end of the i.LINK cable (not supplied) into the i.LINK port
computer and the other end into the DV out port on your digital camera. On
Sony digital cameras, ports marked DV out, DV in/out or i.LINK are i.LINK-
compatible.
2 Launch DVgate Plus for videos or PictureGear Studio for photos (see the Help
files within the software itself for more information).
If the connected i.LINK device is not recognised, disconnect then reconnect it.
Picture may vary from actual configuration.
