Connecting up 02

When setting up an i.LINK network, it’s impor- tant that the components form an open ended chain (fig. 1), or a tree (fig. 2).

When used within an i.LINK network, this player must be on for the i.LINK connection to be maintained. Other components in the network may or may not maintain the connec- tion in standby (none will when the power is completely off)—check the operating instruc- tions supplied with individual components. Note that the audio may be momentarily inter- rupted if a component in the i.LINK network is

switched on/off, or its i.LINK connection is switched on/off.

The system will not work if the connected components form a loop. If a loop is detected, the message LOOP CONNECT shows in the display. Figs. 3 and 4 show connections that form a loop.

Another consideration when connecting i.LINK devices is the speed of the interface. At present there are three speeds; S100 (slowest), S200 and S400 (fastest). This player uses the S400 type. Although you can use components with different speeds together, we recommend connecting slower speed components at the edge of the network if possible (shown by the shaded boxes in figs. 1 and 2). This will keep the network free of bottlenecks.
