System Overview
Digital Link Sound System: The Sony Digital Link Sound System
(XDP-PK1000) allows you to integrate select iPods or
iPhones into your vehicle's existing factory audio system. You can
enjoy great sound from your factory car stereo and compatible iPod/iPhone
via the Digital Link Sound System, which features sound settings optimized for
your vehicle by using Sony digital sound technology. A separate mono-block
amplifier and 12" subwoofer enclosure adds deep bass to your vehicle's factory
car stereo system. The Sony Digital Link Sound
System (XDP-PK1000) consists of a hide-away DSP master unit, iPod/iPhone cradle,
mono-block sub amp, and 12" subwoofer in a sealed enclosure.
DSP Master Unit: The hide-away DSP master unit features a built-in
17 watts x 4 channel amplifier and also includes 6-channel 2-volt preamp outputs to enhance your car
stereo sound. The DSP master unit
offers internal DSP processing for improved car audio sound suited for your type
of vehicle.
iPod/iPhone Cradle: The iPod/iPhone cradle connects to the hide-away
DSP master unit via an 8' cable. The iPod/iPhone cradle fits the iPod touch
and iPhone, but the connector also supports the iPod classic and iPod nano. The iPod/iPhone cradle is fitted with a
suction-cup mount that adheres to your vehicle's dashboard.
Mono-Block Sub Amp: The high efficiency, Class-D design, mono-block
subwoofer amplifier produces 300 watts RMS.
12" Subwoofer Enclosure: A compact, sealed subwoofer enclosure uses a
Sony original 12" dimpled design subwoofer for powerful bass response.
DSP Master Unit
45W x 4ch Amplifier: The Sony Digital Link Sound System's
DSP Master Unit is
equipped with a 17 watt RMS (45 peak) x 4-channel high-power amplifier to drive
your car audio speakers. The built-in amplifier improves the sound of existing
factory car stereo.
Note: CEA2006 Output Power - 17W RMS @ 4-ohms, 20Hz-20kHz, <1%
THD+N.
2V/6ch Preamp Outputs: The DSP Master Unit is fitted
with 2-volt Front, Rear, and Sub RCA pre-amp outputs to feed an external
amplifier for even better sound. The front and rear speaker preamp outputs are balance and fade
adjustable. The subwoofer preamp output is non-fading.
Speaker Level Input (w/ 2ch or 4ch mode): The Sony DSP
Master Unit connects to your vehicle's factory car stereo via
speaker-level input. You can choose between a 2-channel or 4-channel mode
based on the number of speakers you are connecting. Select "2ch" if you connect
only the front car speakers to the DSP master unit or "4ch" if you connect your
vehicle's front & rear speakers.
Internal DSP: Internal DSP processing improves both your factory audio
system playback and your iPod touch or iPhone playback. This system provides
well balanced sound, which appears to come from in front of the driver's seat,
optimized for the vehicle type by setting the DSP master unit. The hide-away DSP
Master Unit utilizes 3
multi-position switches to adjust 12 different DSP parameters, so the sound can
be customized to fit your ride.
- Vehicle Size: Select from one of three sizes (L/M/S) based on
the air volume of your car.
- Subwoofer: Select "Y" (yes) or "N" (no) depending on
whether you have a separate amp & subwoofer connected to the system.

feature a separate display. All song, artist, track, and playback information
will still be viewed from your docked iPod/iPhone.
