Important Changer/Recorder Notes:
• 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.
