Connecting a Digital Video Camera Recorder
You can connect an i.LINK*-enabled digital video camera recorder to 
the i.LINK (IEEE1394) connector.
To connect a digital video camera recorder
Plug one end of the i.LINK cable (not supplied) into the i.LINK connector 
on the left side of the computer and the other end into the DV In/Out 
connector on the digital video camera recorder.
* i.LINK is a trademark of Sony used only to designate that a product contains an IEEE1394 
connector. All products with an i.LINK connector may not communicate with each other.
The Sony digital video camera recorder is pictured; you may need to connect your 
camera differently.
On Sony digital video cameras, connectors labeled “DV In/Out” or “i.LINK” are i.LINK-
compatible.
See the manual that came with your digital video camera recorder for more 
information on installation and use.
Do not connect more than one digital video camera at a time. The software supplied 
with your computer will not recognize multiple cameras.
The i.LINK connector on the computer does not supply power to external devices. If the 
external device requires power from the i.LINK connector, you cannot use the device 
with the computer.
The computer supports transfer rates up to 400 Mbps; however, the actual transfer rate 
is the lowest transfer rate of the slowest external device connected to your computer.
The i.LINK features available may vary depending on the software applications you use. 
See the documentation that came with your software for more information.
