Using self-powered IEEE 1394 devices

To avoid the overload of power consumption and crash of your system, we have designed

the Card Bus adapter with no bus power output, therefore you will need to connect the self-

powered peripherals such as D8, DV camcorder, DVD players etc to work properly, otherwise

a bus powered peripheral connect to the adapter could possibly not being detected by

Windows OS and not works at all.

Verify if your Card Bus adapter is properly installed

To ensure your adapter has been installed successfully, just click Device Manager on

Windows OS, you should have the entry title of "IEEE 1394 Bus Host Controller" on, click

on the "+" sign for sub-entry to reveal " VIA OHCl Compliant IEEE 1394 Host Controller" or

"PC1 OHCl Compliant IEEE 1394 Host Controller", the list will depend on your OS.

Thus you can be sure that the adapter is ready to work.
