At best all you will be able to do is download from your puter, you can't upload with an MDLP deck. If you have all the cables and adapters you shouldn't have a problemBob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raintheory Posted July 18, 2007 Report Share Posted July 18, 2007 From the (limited) information I've read, it seems that the iLink (firewire) only connects the stereo components to each other, and not to a PC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First of all, you need Digital Link Manager For Lissa i uploaded it here (This is latest version 2.0) https://files.fm/u/apag6x3p SonicStage not work with Lissa system - as i know. But install properly Digital Link Manager is a chalange, I got it to work only on Windows XP - i tryed on Win7 but without luck. There are also driver hell and how to attach them to lissa it work manually i have somewhere a tutorial how to do it. and last, you need to wire iLink cables properly. iLink cable from STR-LSA1 To CD and from CD to MiniDisc then connect Firewire from other iLink port on STR-LSA1 to PC Ok, i find my tutorial there it is: https://us.community.sony.com/s/question/0D50B00004PQidSSAT/sony-lissa-and-windows-xp-windows-7-avc-problem And this is how it looks in PC -> MD recording (Nice that it transfers Artist names too) just press SYNC and it transfer automatic. Fortunately realtime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alistair Mateer Posted February 9, 2022 Report Share Posted February 9, 2022 Hi @cosmolv. I also own a Sony Lissa (love it) and have never been able to get Digital Link Manager working in Win XP, only 2000. I tried following your tutorial however I cannot find the drivers in the fourth step - I browse using all device types and locate the "Sony" folder however the three i.link devices are not listed. Do you know why this might be? Thank you, -Alistair Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
