1 Continued Chapter 1 Intr oduction The Sony 1600L i.LINK ® (also referred to as the CRX1600L) is a high performance external CD-RW Recorder/Player with the IEEE 1394 (also called i.LINK or FireWire ® ) Interface. The 1600L i.LINK drive is capable of recording and playing rewritable CD-RW and write once CD-R media as well as being able to read ma[...]

2 Sony, along with other industry leaders, helped develop the IEEE 1394 standard. IEEE 1394 is an industry standard serial communications common interface protocol as published by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE). Designed to provide a high level of connectivity and ease of use between audio-video components and personal[...]

3 Continued On the computer side, i.LINK technology allows up to 63 devices to be linked together without many of the rules and limitations of competing technologies such as SCSI. There are no addresses to set on the devices, no terminator needed at the end of the bus. The SCSI maximum is 15 devices with only a single host. IEEE 1394 allows more th[...]

4 CD-RW drives are very versatile for transporting information to both older and newer CD and DVD ROM drives. CD-RW media can be read by newer CD-ROM and DVD drives. These newer drives are known as Multi Read TM (MR) drives. And even though CD-RW media cannot be read by older CD-ROM drives, the 1600L i.LINK drive can write to CD-R media which can b[...]

5 Continued The speed at which a CD-ROM is written does not affect the speed at which that CD-ROM can be read. For example, a CD-ROM which was written at 2 × can be read at 1 × , 2 × , 4 × , 8 × , 12 × , 24 × , 32 × and so on. Buffer The 1600L i.LINK drive has a 4 megabyte data buffer, which protects against buffer underruns when writing to[...]

6 Recording Methods The 1600L i.LINK drive has the capability to use several different recording methods. The descriptions of these methods in this manual are overviews of the subject. The methods are covered in greater detail in the software documentation. • Disc at Once : this is a recording method in which the entire disc is written in a singl[...]

7 Media Compatibility Due to the different makeup of CD-R and CD-RW discs, these discs have different reflective qualities, and can be used with the following units. CD-R All CD-ROM drives and CD players CD-RW Multi-Read and CD-RW compatible CD-ROM drives Most newer drives are Multi-Read drives which have the capability to read stamped CD, CD-R and[...]

10 Headphone Jack/Volume Control To listen to an audio CD from the CD-ROM unit you may insert a standard headphone cable into the headphone jack on the front of the unit. Most CD-ROM playing software packages have a utility that will allow you to listen to audio CDs directly from the 1600L i.LINK drive. The software functions like a stereo CD playe[...]

11 Continued AC Power Inlet The 1600L i.LINK drive uses a 100 to 240V, 50-60 Hz, 1.2 amp maximum power supply. This will allow the unit to be attached to either 110 volt or 220 volt circuits. IEEE 1394 Cable and Connectors IEEE 1394 is commonly called either i.LINK or FireWire. Each uses a different symbol, though FireWire and i.LINK are compatible[...]

12 Chaining Multiple i.LINK devices Most devices have two connectors so you can chain devices link to link up to 17 devices serially. However, some devices have three ports so you can also branch devices. 3 G R e W ri t a b l e R e W rit a b le i . L I N K i.L I NK If a device has three i.LINK connectors branching may also be done. While 63 devices[...]

13 Continued Restrictions of IEEE 1394 You cannot violate the 63 device limitation. If an additional device is added beyond the 63 device limit none of the devices will be able to determine their position in the i.LINK chain, and so all devices will be unable to communicate. You cannot violate the sixteen hop limitation between any two devices. A d[...]

14 i.LINK Signal Types Even though different devices may be connected together, two devices may not be able to share signals. The printer and the keyboard will not be able to exchange signals, however for the G3 from the example to communicate with the printer, both the video camera and the keyboard will pass the signals through to the printer. 3 G[...]

30 DC Power (Direct Current) Power Electronic components require direct current which is a current maintained at a constant level, not alternating in a sine wave like alternating current. Because of this property direct current can be used by the computer, not just to power components, but at different voltage levels to send electrical signals by m[...]

31 Continued Land or Pits Mass produced CD-ROM are a stamped media with indentations physically stamped into the recording layer of the media which is then covered by a hard clear plastic. A laser beam focused at these indentations reflects differently than the parts of the media that are not indented. The indentations are called “ Pits. ” “ [...]
