Onkyo DV-SP1000 Connecting to an AV Receiver’s Audio Inputs, Connecting Several i.LINK Components

Connecting—Continued

Connecting Several i.LINK Components

With i.LINK it’s possible to connect up to 17 compo- nents together, making the digital audio and control sig- nals of each component available to all the other components. By using what’s called an i.LINK repeater, it’s possible to connect up to 63 components together. Multiple i.LINK components must be connected in series (Fig. 1) or in a tree-like system (Fig. 2).

i.LINK will not work if any of the connections form a loop, as shown below.

Notes:

•The DV-SP1000/DV-SP1000E is fully compatible with i.LINK Audio and works with other i.LINK Audio-compatible components, such as AV receivers, CD players, and so on. It may not work reliably when connected to DV camcorders or computers with i.LINK or IEEE 1394 sockets. Refer to the manuals supplied with your other components for compatibil- ity information.

•Components must support DTCP (Digital Transmis- sion Content Protection) in order to play DVD-Video, DVD-Audio, and SACD over i.LINK. The DV-SP1000/DV-SP1000E does.

•i.LINK currently supports three transmission speeds: S100 (100 Mbps), S200 (200 Mbps), and S400

(400 Mbps). The DV-SP1000/DV-SP1000E supports S400. Components of any speed can be connected together, although for best performance, slower com- ponents should be connected at the edges of the sys- tem (as shown by the shaded components in Fig. 1 and Fig. 2).

•When several i.LINK components are connected together, i.LINK may not work properly if certain components are on standby. i.LINK will work prop- erly while the DV-SP1000/DV-SP1000E is on standby. However, the system will not work at all if any component is fully shutdown (i.e., power switch

set to off). Refer to the manuals supplied with your other components for more information.

•i.LINK operation may be interrupted if a connected component is turned on or off, or its i.LINK settings are turned on or off.

Connecting to an AV Receiver’s Audio Inputs

This section shows how to connect the DV-SP1000/ DV-SP1000E’s audio outputs to an AV receiver’s audio inputs.

K. Digital Audio Connection

(Dolby Digital & DTS)

To fully enjoy the Dolby Digital and DTS soundtracks available on most DVD-Video discs, you need to connect one of the DV-SP1000/DV-SP1000E’s digital audio out- puts (DIGITAL 1 or DIGITAL 2) to a digital audio input on an AV receiver that supports Dolby Digital and DTS. You can also enjoy Dolby Surround, if your receiver sup- ports Dolby Pro Logic.

Use an optical or coaxial digital audio cable to connect one of the DV-SP1000/DV-SP1000E’s DIGITAL 1 or DIGITAL 2 outputs (OPTICAL or COAXIAL) to a cor- responding digital audio input on your AV receiver, as shown.
