What is i.LINK?
i.LINK is a digital serial interface for handling digital video,
digital audio, and other data in two directions. i.LINK is Sony's
term for the IEEE 1394 data transport bus. Digital AV
equipment compatible with i.LINK can be connected using a
single i.LINK cable. The i.LINK interface allows this PDP
system to control one of up to two connected i.LINK-
compatible devices that the system can identify.
Which i.LINK devices are connectable?
For i.LINK devices, this system supports only D-VHS recorders
which deal with the MPEG-TS format. The i.LINK terminals on
this system cannot be connected with other equipment such
as DVD recorders, digital video cameras, personal computers,
and PC peripheral devices because of differences in the
specifications.
What can be recorded through i.LINK?
With D-VHS recorders connected to this system through
i.LINK, you can record only digital TV programs. You cannot
record conventional TV channels nor contents coming from
external input sources and personal computers.
Connecting D-VHS recorders
Use the i.LINK terminals when connecting D-VHS recorders.
