Connecting—Continued
This section shows how to connect the DV-SP1000/
DV-SP1000E to an i.LINK-compatible component, such
as an AV receiver.
What is i.LINK?
i.LINK is a brand name for IEEE 1394, the high-speed
serial connection format commonly used on computers,
camcorders, and other AV equipment to carry digital
video and audio or other data.
It’s a bidirectional for-
mat, so connected components can talk to each other
for optimal setup and synchronized operation.
Connecting a single i.LINK cable between the
DV-SP1000/DV-SP1000E and an i.LINK-compatible
AV receiver is all you need do to fully enjoy the multi-
channel audio of DVD-Video, DVD-Audio, and SACD.
Other advantages of i.LINK include automatic setup and
source selection. For example, when you start playback
on the DV-SP1000/DV-SP1000E, an AV receiver con-
nected via i.LINK will automatically select the
DV-SP1000/DV-SP1000E as its input source.
What is i.LINK Audio?
i.LINK Audio is the standard for carrying up to six (5.1)
channels and up to 24-bit/192 kHz digital audio over
i.LINK (IEEE 1394). It’s officially known as the A&M
Protocol—Audio and Music Data Transmission Proto-
col.
The DV-SP1000/DV-SP1000E can output digital audio
from DVD-Video, DVD-Audio, SACD, VCD, CD, and
MP3 discs.
Using i.LINK
Use the supplied i.LINK cable to connect one of the
DV-SP1000/DV-SP1000E’s i.LINK sockets to an
i.LINK socket on your i.LINK-compatible AV receiver
or other component. The DV-SP1000/DV-SP1000E has
two i.LINK sockets, so you can easily connect other
i.LINK-compatible components.
Notes:
• Make sure that the i.LINK plugs are fully inserted.
• Don’t disconnect any i.LINK cables while the
DV-SP1000/DV-SP1000E is on.
• A short circuit may occur if the metallic part of an
i.LINK plug comes into contact with the DV-SP1000/
DV-SP1000E’s metal case, so make sure that your
connections are secure, and don’t leave one end of an
i.LINK cable disconnected.
• Since i.LINK carries digital audio only, you must
make separate connections for video (see pages 30 and
31).
• i.LINK cables are available with 4-pin or 6-pin con-
nectors and it’s OK to use both types together. The
DV-SP1000/DV-SP1000E’s i.LINK sockets accepts
only 4-pin plugs. The maximum cable length is 3.5 m.
• Protected 96 kHz digital audio from DVD-Video discs
will be down sampled to 48 kHz before being output
from the i.LINK sockets.
• To output multichannel audio from a DVD-Audio
disc, the Analog Audio Out setting must be set to
Multi Channel (see page 76).
• The Digital Out/Digital 1 settings affect i.LINK out-
put (see page 74).
• See the table on page 28 for details on how the
DV-SP1000/DV-SP1000E outputs audio from its
i.LINK sockets.
■ SACD Playback
When the i.LINK Output Setting (see page 76) is set to
On, SACD audio is output from the i.LINK sockets, but
not the analog audio outputs. When it’s set to Off, SACD
audio is output from the analog audio outputs, but not the
i.LINK sockets.

i.LINK cable
(supplied)
The DV-SP1000/DV-SP1000E’s i.LINK interface
complies with the following specifications:
1) IEEE Std 1394a-2000, Standard for a High Perfor-
mance Serial Bus
2) Audio and Music Data Transmission Protocol 2.0
In accordance with the standard for AM824 sequence
adaptation layers, the DV-SP1000/DV-SP1000E is
compatible with IEC60958 bitstream, DVD-Audio, and
SACD.
