the S400 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.

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.
