Connecting IEEE1394 devices

For the digital transfer of signals from Super Audio CDs and DVD-Audio discs, connect using an IEEE1394 cable. For instructions

on playing Super Audio CDs ( page 99).

Assign the IEEE1394 input the input source. For details, see “Setting the IEEE1394 Assignment” ( page 107).

q Up to 17 devices can be connected using daisy chain type connections. w Up to 63 devices can be connected using tree type connections.

Do not loop the connections.

e “LINK CHECK” is displayed when an input source to which an IEEE1394 is assigned is selected and connection to the

IEEE1394 device is being checked.

r If the connection is looped, “LOOP CONNECT” is displayed. Check the connections and undo the loop.

NOTE:

Do not use an IEEE1394 cable to connect the AVR-5805CI with a computer.

The AVR-5805CI will not operate when connected to equipment other than that conforming to “IEEE1394 AUDIO (A&M protocol)” standards or when connected to computer peripherals.

Also please note that operation is not guaranteed even when connected to IEEE1394-compatible equipment. Whether or not data and control signals can be sent and received between interconnected IEEE1394-compatible equipment depends on the functions of the different equipment. Please read the operating instructions of the equipment to be connected.

Use an S400-compatible 4-pin IEEE1394 cable to connect.

Video signals are not transferred with the AVR-5805CI’s IEEE1394 interface, so when connecting a video device connect the video signals as well.
