About battery life
• Battery capacity decreases over time and 
through repeated use. If decreased usage time 
between charges becomes significant, it is 
probably time to replace it with a new one.
• Each battery’s life is governed by storage, 
operating and environmental conditions.
About i.LINK
The DV Interface on this unit is an i.LINK-
compliant DV Interface. This section 
describes the i.LINK standard and its 
features.
What is i.LINK?
i.LINK is a digital serial interface for 
transferring digital video, digital audio, and 
other data to other i.LINK-compatible 
devices. You can also control other devices 
using the i.LINK.
i.LINK-compatible devices can be 
connected using an i.LINK cable. Possible 
applications are operations and data 
transactions with various digital AV 
devices.
When two or more i.LINK-compatible 
devices are daisy-chained with the unit, 
operation becomes possible from any 
device in the chain. Note that operation 
method may vary, or data transactions may 
not be possible, depending on specifications 
and characteristics of the connected 
devices.
• Normally, only one device can be connected to 
this unit with an i.LINK cable. When 
connecting this unit to an i.LINK-compatible 
device having two or more DV Interfaces, refer 
to the operating instructions of the device to be 
connected.
• i.LINK is a more familiar term for the IEEE 
1394 data transport bus proposed by Sony, and 
is a trademark approved by many corporations.
• IEEE 1394 is an international standard 
standardized by the Institute of Electrical and 
Electronics Engineers.
About the i.LINK Baud rate
i.LINK’s maximum baud rate varies 
according to the device. There are 3 types.
S100 (approx. 100Mbps*)
S200 (approx. 200Mbps)
S400 (approx. 400Mbps)
The baud rate is listed under 
“Specifications” in the operating 
instructions of each piece of equipment. It
