Connecting Several i.LINK Components

With i.LINK it’s possible to connect up to 17 compo- nents together, making the digital audio and control sig- nals of each component available to all the other components. By using what’s called an i.LINK repeater, it’s possible to connect up to 63 components together. Multiple i.LINK components must be connected in series (Fig. 1) or in a tree-like system (Fig. 2).

i.LINK will not work if any of the connections form a loop, as shown below.

Notes:

•The DPS-10.5 is fully compatible with i.LINK Audio and works with other i.LINK Audio-compatible com- ponents, such as AV receivers, CD players, and so on. It may not work reliably when connected to DV cam- corders or computers with i.LINK or IEEE 1394 sock- ets. Refer to the manuals supplied with your other components for compatibility information.

•Components must support DTCP (Digital Transmis- sion Content Protection) in order to play DVD-Video, DVD-Audio, and SACD over i.LINK. The DPS-10.5 does.

•i.LINK currently supports three transmission speeds: S100 (100 Mbps), S200 (200 Mbps), and S400

(400 Mbps). The DPS-10.5 supports S400. Compo- nents of any speed can be connected together, although for best performance, slower components should be connected at the edges of the system (as shown by the shaded components in Fig. 1 and Fig. 2).

•When several i.LINK components are connected together, i.LINK may not work properly if certain components are on standby. i.LINK will work prop- erly while the DPS-10.5 is on standby. However, the system will not work at all if any component is fully shutdown (i.e., power switch set to off). Refer to the manuals supplied with your other components for more information.

•i.LINK operation may be interrupted if a connected component is turned on or off, or its i.LINK settings are turned on or off.

Connecting to an AV Receiver’s Audio Inputs

This section shows how to connect the DPS-10.5’s audio outputs to an AV receiver’s audio inputs.

J.Digital Audio Connection (Dolby Digital & DTS)

To fully enjoy the Dolby Digital and DTS soundtracks available on most DVD-Video discs, you need to connect one of the DPS-10.5’s digital audio outputs (DIGITAL 1 or DIGITAL 2) to a digital audio input on an AV receiver that supports Dolby Digital and DTS. You can also enjoy Dolby Surround, if your receiver supports Dolby Pro Logic.

Use an optical or coaxial digital audio cable to connect one of the DPS-10.5’s DIGITAL 1 or DIGITAL 2 out- puts (OPTICAL or COAXIAL) to a corresponding digi- tal audio input on your AV receiver, as shown.
