i.LINK (IEEE1394)

compatible devices such as:
■
Digital video cameras
■ Hard disk drives
■ MO drives
■ Optical disc drives
Precautions
■
Make a back-up of your data before transferring it to the computer. There
is a possibility that the original data will be damaged. There is a particular
risk that some frames will be deleted in the case of digital video transfer.
■ Do not transfer data in areas where static electricity is easily generated
or in areas subjected to electronic noise. Data can be destroyed.
■ If you are transferring data through an IEEE1394 hub, do not connect or
disconnect other devices from the hub during data transfer. There is a
likelihood that data will be damaged. Connect all devices to the hub
before you turn on the computer's power.
i.LINK uses a four-pin connector, which does not carry electric current.
External devices will need their own power supply.
