Sony DVP-NS9100ES, NS3100 manual Dual i.LINK interfaces

free signal at the full quartz-crystal accuracy of the receiver's master clock. You get all the benefits of digital transmission, without exposing the signal to the potential for jitter-induced distortion.

Dual i.LINK® interfaces

The DVP-NS9100ES actually has two i.LINK® interfaces in daisy chain configuration.1 You can connect a second i.LINK source component to the DVP- NS9100ES, while the NS9100ES itself connects to a single i.LINK interface port on the STR-DA7100ES A/V receiver. In this configuration, all three i.LINK components must be switched on for the second source component to transfer signals to the STR-DA7100ES. Performance is only guaranteed when the second source component is a Sony SCD-XA9000ES or another DVP- NS9100ES and the A/V receiver is an STR-DA7100ES.

Thanks to the daisy chain architecture of the i.LINK interface, it is possible to connect components in different configurations. However, performance for the daisy chain on the right is only guaranteed when connecting the Sony equipment shown.

1.i.LINK is a trademark of Sony used only to designate that product contains an IEEE 1394 connector. All products with an IEEE 1394 connector may not communicate with each other. Please refer to the documentation that comes with the device having an i.LINK connector for information on compatibility, operating conditions and proper connection.

HD upscaling and the High Definition

Multimedia Interface (HDMI™) technology

Today's home theater enthusiasts are increasingly likely to have "HD Ready" or "HD Built in" televisions. And they're just as likely to be starving for High Definition content. The DVP-NS9100ES and NS3100ES go a step toward fulfilling that need with High Definition upscaling of the Standard Definition DVD signal.
