“CH” and “i_RC” will become available after a future hardware upgrade (charged).
CH (Channel)
When the i.LINK (AUDIO) terminal is connected to a digital device, select the channels for this unit.
The factory setting is L/R.
L/R: front left and right channels
C/LFE: center channel and LFE (subwoofer)
LS/RS: surround left and right channels
<The icons of the selected channels light on the display.
i_RC (i.LINK remote control function)
When multiple AI-10 units are directly connected using i.LINK cables and you use this function, the volume, muting and dimmer of all AI-10’s in the chain can be controlled using only one AI-10.
Since this function is available as long as AI-10’s are connected using i.LINK cables, you can use a different input type other than i.LINK.
ON
The volume, muting and dimmer of all AI-10’s in the chain can be controlled using the L/R channel AI-10.
MASTR
SLAVE
When you set one AI-10 as master and all other AI-10’s as slaves, the volume, muting and dimmer of all AI-10’s in the chain can be controlled using only the master unit.
This master-slave control has nothing to do with the channel setting.
OFF (factory setting)
Select this setting position when the i.LINK remote control is not used. The volume, muting and dimmer of all AI-10’s in the chain cannot be controlled as a whole.
The i.LINK circuit is powered only when the input is set to i.LINK.
Note
When two AI-10’s are connected using i.LINK cables and one AI-10 is connected to the front left speaker and the other AI- 10 is connected to the front right speaker as shown below, one AI-10 can be used as an amplifier dedicated to the left channel and the other as an amplifier dedicated to the right channel.

i.LINK(AUDIO)
AI-10 (L/R)
i.LINK(AUDIO)
The MASTR and SLAVE settings of the i.LINK remote control function allow you to set one AI-10 as master and the other as slave, so that the volume, muting and dimmer of the two AI- 10’s can be controlled in unison using one of the pair units.
