Thanks to Steve AKA Vidiot Tech for alerting us to this SONY warning about plugging the Firewire cable
(IEEE 1394) into a computer or other device.

It is notable that there is no risk if the cables are inserted correctly in the first place. The firewire protocol is hot-swappable by definition. This recommendation is to help prevent damage for folks are not paying attention to what they are doing when plugging in cables.
