There are two i.LINK

®

 ports on the back of the VGP-XL1B; 

however, you cannot connect this device to two different host 
computers at the same time.

•

The remaining i.LINK

® 

port on the back of the VGP-XL1B can 

be used to combine or daisy-chain up to four additional VGP-
XL1B changers. This feature allows you to network up to five 
changers to the host computer.

•

The second i.LINK

® 

port functions as a normal 1394 port with 

one exception: DO NOT connect/disconnect a second 1394 
device on the second port of the changer while the device is 
being used (burning, ripping, or playing back any type of discs.)

•

Once a new device is plugged into the second i.LINK

®

 port of 

the VGP-XL1B, both the changer and the second device are re-
enumerated by the operating system, which could interrupt the 
current process running on the changer. If you encounter any 
problems after connecting a new 1394 device, you might need 
to restart the host computer.

The operating system for the host computer must be Microsoft

®

 

Windows Vista™ Home Premium, or Ultimate.
