This section explains the general specifications and
major features of i.LINK.  Read this section before
doing any i.LINK-related operation.
Note that i.LINK connections and operations may vary,
depending on the component.  For details regarding
the connection of i.LINK components to this player, see
“Hooking Up the System” on page 4.

i.LINK is a serial digital interface that supports the bi-
directional transmission of audio and video signals,
commands, and even component status information.
All that is needed to hook up i.LINK components are
i.LINK connecting cables.  Audio and video
components connected within an i.LINK configuration
can be used to perform a wide range of operations and
data exchanges that is sure to expand as the number
and variety  of i.LINK components  grow.
Since i.LINK allows data to be transmitted from one

component to other components to which it is not

directly connected, there is no need to pay attention to
connection order.  However, due to differences in
characteristics or specifications, operation of or data
exchange with certain i.LINK components may not be
possible, even when they are connected.

i.LINK is a trademark proposed by Sony Corporation

and accepted by companies throughout the world as an
easy-to-remember name for the IEEE 1394 world

standard of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics

Engineers.

The use of i.LINK cables to connect i.LINK components
as shown below is called a “daisy chain” configuration.

• Any i.LINK component with three or more i.LINK

connectors can serve as a branch point.

• Up to 63 i.LINK components can be connected in a

single configuration.  However, the maximum
number of components that can be daisy-chained in
a single route is 17 (i.e., a maximum of 16 i.LINK
connecting cables in a row).  Each i.LINK cable used
in a single route is called a “hop.”  For example,
there are 6 hops in the route between A and C in the
illustration below, and 3 hops in the route between A
and D.

Each route between A and B; A and C; A and D; B and
C; B and D; and C and D in the illustration above can
have 16 hops (i.e., 17 components).

A signal output from one component is transmitted to
all other components.  A loop connection should thus
be avoided to prevent the return of a signal to its
source.

• Some i.LINK components (such as personal computers) do

not transfer signals when they are turned off.  Refer to the

operation manual of each component to be connected

before you hook them up.

• The maximum transmission rate of an i.LINK component is

printed near its i.LINK connector.  The indications S100,
S200, and S400 refer to maximum transmission rates of 100,

200, or 400 Mbps*, respectively.  The actual transmission

rate may be faster or slower, depending on the differences
in transmission rates and specifications among the

connected components.

z

“Mbps” is an abbreviation for megabits per second.  It

indicates the amount of data transmitted per second.  For
example, a rate of 200 Mbps means 200 megabits of data

are transmitted  in one second.
