About i.LINK

i.LINK is a Serial Digital Interface that transfers digital video/audio signals bi-directionally between i.LINK devices, and allows you to operate other i.LINK devices.

You can operate another i.LINK device directly or indirectly, so device connection order is not concern.

However, some i.LINK devices may not communicate with each other, depending on their specification.

Notes on connecting i.LINK devices

The i.LINK port on your VAIO computer does not supply power to an external device. If the external device requires external power, be sure to connect it to a power source.

The i.LINK port supports transfer rates up to 400 Mbps. However, the actual transfer rate depends on the transfer rate of the external device.

The optional i.LINK cables may not be available in some countries or regions.

An i.LINK connection with other compatible devices is not fully guaranteed.

The i.LINK connection may not be available depending on the software applications, operating system, and i.LINK-compatible devices you use. See the manual that came with your software for more information.

Check the working conditions and operating system compatibility of i.LINK-compatible PC peripherals (for example, an HDD or a CD-RW drive) before you connect them to your computer.
