To take advantage of PQLS, you must have a player

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

compatible with rate-control, and it must be switched on

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

and connected to this receiver through the i.LINK

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

network.

 

 

i.LINK-equipped component

 

 

 

 

 

•The arrow on the cable connector body should be face down and lined up with the arrow below the connector on the receiver for correct alignment. The i.LINK cable should be inserted straight into the connector so that it snaps easily into place. If not connected properly the receiver will not be able to recognize any connected components. Note that the i.LINK cable is fragile and can be broken easily if too much force is used when connecting.

2Assign the i.LINK component to the input you want, then make any necessary output settings on the component.

See Assigning the i.LINK inputs on page 89 to assign the component to an input on this receiver. Follow the operating instructions that came with the component to make any necessary output settings.

Note

•You can connect several components together using i.LINK. See Creating an i.LINK network below.

Creating an i.LINK network

Using i.LINK it is possible to chain up to 17 components together so that the digital audio and control signals from each component is available to other components in the network. With the addition of an i.LINK repeater, it’s possible to connect up to 63 components.

i.LINK connectors come in 4-pin and 6-pin configura- tions. This player uses the 4-pin connection, but the two types can be mixed on a network.

This receiver is compatible with i.LINK Audio (A&M protocol) components, such as DVD players. Note that when connected to i.LINK MPEG-II TS equipment (such as a digital satellite tuner), i.LINK DV equipment (such as a DVD recorder or DV camcorder), or an i.LINK-equipped personal computer, audio and video signals are not transmitted, and connecting to these devices sometimes causes network interruptions. Check the operating instructions supplied with your other i.LINK components for compatibility information.

This receiver is DTCP (Digital Transmission Content Protection) compliant, so you can play DVD-A, DVD- Video, and SACD i.LINK audio.
