Before You Start  the
Hookup
Checking the  supplied  accessories
This MD deck comes with the following items:
• i.LINK connecting  cable (1)
• Remote commander  (remote) (1)
Before using the supplied remote
The supplied r emote alr eady contains a battery .  Before
using  the remote,  pull out the insulating  sheet to allow  the
power to flow from the battery .
To avoid battery leakage
If you  don’t use the remote for an extended  period  of time,
remove the battery to avoid possible damage  from battery
leakage and corr osion.
z
When to replace the battery
Under normal conditions,  the battery should last for about six
months.   When  the remote  no longer  operates  the deck, replace
the battery  with  new kne.
Notes on lithium battery
• Keep the lithium battery out of the r
each of the children.
Should the battery be swallowed,  immediately  consult a doctor .
• Wipe the battery  with  a dry cloth to assur e a good  contact.
• Be sur e to  observe  the  corr ect  polarity  when  inserting  the
battery .
• Do not hold  the battery  with  metallic  tweezers,  otherwise  a
short-cir cuit may occur .
WARNING
Battery may explode  if mistr eated.
Do not rechar ge, disassemble,  or dispose  of in fire.
Getting
Started
This chapter  pr ovides  information  on
the supplied  accessories,  things  you
should keep in mind while hooking
up the system,  and how to connect
i.LINK components  to the MD deck.
Be sur e to r ead this chapter
thor oughly befor e you actually
connect anything  to the deck.

i.LINK connections
The use of i.LINK cables to connect  i.LINK components  as
shown below is called a “daisy chain” configuration.
i.LINK connecting cable
Data can be transmitted between any two
components even if they are indirectly connected.
Branch connections
• Any i.LINK component  with thr ee or mor e 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 ar e 6 hops in
the route between  A and C in the illustration  below , and
3 hops  in  the  route  between  A and  D.
B
A
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).
Loop-connection
A signal  output  from  one  component  is transmitted  to  all
other components.   A loop connection should thus be
avoided to pr event the return of a signal to its source.
Correct
Incorrect (looped)
Notes
• Some i.LINK components  (such as personal  computers)  do not
transfer  signals  when  they  ar e turned  off.  Refer  to  the
operation manual of each component to be connected befor e
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 dif ferences in transmission
rates and specifications  among  the connected  components.
z
What is Mbps?
“Mbps” is an abbr eviation 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  ar e transmitted  in one
second.
LINC (Logical INterface Connection)
Before an  audio  signal  can  be transmitted  between  i.LINK
components, a 
“LINC” must first be established  between
the receiving  component  (of the audio  signal) and the
sending component.  Establishing a “LINC” means
establishing a 
logical path for the transmission of 
digital
audio signals between the two components.  Each logical
path  has  an  ID number .  Since  the  component  that  sends
an audio  signal  must  output  the signal  to a path,  and  the
component that r eceives the signal must input it from the
same path, the path must be mutually  known  by both
components.  During the establishment of a LINC, the
following communication occurs between the two i.LINK
components.
Example
A component  establishing  a LINC  with  a CD player  in
order to receive an audio  signal from the CD player
1
The component that will r eceive an audio signal
from the CD player  sends  a request  and  path
information  to the CD player  to establish  a
transmission path for the audio signal.

,

<

The CD player  responds  to the component,
agr eeing to the establishment  of a LINC.
The digital  audio  signal  transmission  becomes  possible
only after the communication  described  above has
occurr ed and  a LINC has been established.

About i.LINK
This section  explains  the general  specifications  and  major
featur es of i.LINK.  Read  this  section  befor e doing  any
i.LINK-r elated operation.
Note that i.LINK connections  and operations  may vary ,
depending on the component.   
For details  regar ding  the
connection of i.LINK components to this unit,  see
“Hooking Up the i.LINK Components” on page 11.
i.LINK functions
i.LINK is a serial digital  interface  that  supports  the
bidir ectional 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 gr ows.
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
or der .  However , due  to  dif ferences  in  characteristics  or
specifications, operation  of or data exchange  with certain
i.LINK components may not be possible, even when they
ar e connected.
z
What is i.LINK?
i.LINK is a trademark  pr oposed  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.
