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. b Notes • Normally, only one device can be connected to this unit with an i.LINK cable. When connecting this unit to an HDV/DV compatible device having two or more i.LINK interfaces, refer to the operating instructions of the device to be connected. z Tips • 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 is also indicated near the i.LINK interface on some devices. The baud rate may differ from the indicated value when the unit is connected to a device with a different maximum baud rate. * What is Mbps? Mbps stands for "megabits per second," or the amount of data that can be sent or received in one second. For example, a baud rate of 100 Mbps means that 100 megabits of data can be sent in one second. To use i.LINK functions on this unit For details on how to dub when this unit is connected to other video devices having an i.LINK interface, see page 39. This unit can also be connected to other i.LINK-compatible devices made by Sony (for example, a VAIO series personal computer) as well as to video devices. Some i.LINK compatible video devices, such as Digital Televisions, DVD, MICROMV or HDV recorders/players are not compatible with this unit. Before connecting to other devices, make sure to confirm whether the device is compatible with an HDV/DV device or not. For details on precautions and compatible application software, refer also to the operating instructions for the device to be connected. b Notes • Do not connect cables to your VCR with their terminals placed the wrong way. Forcing the connectors into your VCR's jacks may damage them or result in a malfunction of your VCR. When using the 4 pin jacks, align the v mark on the i.LINK cable plug with the V mark on HDV/ DV jack or DV jack before connecting. • Connect the i.LINK cable to the other device first, then to your VCR. Connecting to your VCR first may cause static discharge, resulting in a malfunction of your VCR. • If you connect a device that has an i.LINK terminal to your VCR via an i.LINK cable, switch off the device and unplug it from the power socket before connecting/disconnecting the i.LINK cable; otherwise, high voltage current may be present at the i.LINK terminal of the device, which could create a malfunction. About the required i.LINK cable Use the Sony i.LINK 4-pin-to-4-pin cable (during HDV/DV dubbing). Additional Information Continued , 83
