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.
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
My DVDs located on the Media Center Start menu.
Due to these limitations, it is recommended that you place DVD-
Video 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.
Note : Sony supports up to five VGP-XL2B Changer/Recorders.
Functionality is limited when multiple Changers are daisy chained
(connected) to the host computer. (See below.)
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.
