Connecting Multiple Changers The Sony® VGP-XL1B Changers/Recorders are IEEE 1394 (FireWire) devices and can be connected together in a network or daisy-chain configuration to the host computer to increase storage capacity for your media library. Note: Sony supports up to five VGP-XL1B Changer/Recorders. Functionality is limited when multiple Changers are daisy chained (connected) to the host computer. (See below.) Multiple Changer Limitations • When daisy-chaining/connecting additional changers, only Sony® VGP-XL1B Changer/Recorders are supported. • All other media (Audio CDs, data CDs/DVDs, blank CDs/DVDs can only be accessed in Media Center from the Changer with the lowest serial number. DVD-Video discs in all Changers can be viewed and accessed from TV+Movies > DVD Library located on the Media Center Start menu. Important Note: The Sony® VGP-XL1B Changer/Recorder with the lowest serial number should be connected directly to the host computer. Then connect (daisy-chain) other Changers to it. Due to these limitations, it is recommended that you place DVDVideo discs in the changer(s) with the higher serial numbers and all other media disc types in the changer with the lowest serial number, if possible. 34 VGP-XL1B User Guide
