Explanation

CANNOT LINK 1

The connection between the receiver and the selected i.LINK-equipped component is unstable. If the

 

 

i.LINK cables appear to be connected properly and both the receiver and i.LINK-equipped component are

 

on, switch both units off, then on again to re-establish the connection between them.

 

 

CANNOT LINK 2

The receiver can’t identify the selected i.LINK-equipped component. For example, the receiver may not be

 

 

able to identify an i.LINK-equipped personal computer.

 

 

LINK CHECK

The receiver is checking the i.LINK network. It does this when components are added to, or removed from

 

 

the network. The sound may be interrupted if this happens during playback.

 

 

LOOP CONNECT

i.LINK network on page 50 for more on this.

 

 

NO NAME

When an i.LINK-equipped component has no name, this message is displayed instead of the proper

 

 

component name.

 

 

NO SIGNAL

A component is outputting an i.LINK signal that the receiver cannot reproduce. This receiver can only

 

 

reproduce signals from i.LINK-Audio-equipped components. See About i.LINK on page 50 for more on this.

 

 

PQLS OFF

This is displayed on a playback component when PQLS turns off during playback. The sound may be

 

 

interrupted momentarily when this happens.

 

 

PQLS ON

This is displayed on a playback component when PQLS turns on during playback. The sound may be

 

 

interrupted momentarily when this happens.
