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.
