Marantz SR9600 manual Connecting i.LINK Components, Example connection, Bad connection example

ENGLISH

CONNECTING i.LINK COMPONENTS

The SR9600 connects to i.LINK components that support up to S400 (400 Mbps). Use a 4-pin i.LINK cable that supports S400 for i.LINK connections with this receiver.

Video data cannot be transmitted via the i.LINK (Audio) supported by this receiver. To connect to a video component, connect the video signal separately. When connected to other Marantz products using i.LINK, the system can be operated over the i.LINK cable.

When multiple i.LINK components are connected to the receiver, data can be transmitted through the other i.LINK components. The components do not have to be connected in a specific order to do this. (see page 34)

i.LINK does not distinguish between input and output terminals in two-way communications. Input and output are switched according to the direction in which signals flow.

Example connection :

Up to 17 devices can be connected in a daisy chain.

The SR9600 can detect up to 15 components.

Example connection :

Up to 63 devices can be connected in a tree formation by branching. This kind of connection is possible with devices that have 3 or more i.LINK connectors.

Notes:

• The i.LINK feature of the SR9600 supports only

devices (digital broadcast receiver (MPEG-2 TS),

digital video (DV), etc.) that support i.LINK

(Audio). Do not connect unsupported devices

because malfunctions can occur.

• During playback of an i.LINK device, do not

disconnect or connect the i.LINK cable of other

devices. Also, do not connect new devices or turn

the power on/off. This can cut off the sound.

• Some i.LINK devices cannot relay data while

power is off or the device is on standby. See the

instruction manual of the connected device.

The SR9600 does not relay data in this state

either.

device is labeled near to its i.LINK connector.

This maximum data speed is standardized as S100

(100 Mbps), S200 (200 Mbps) and S400 (400

Mbps). The SR9600 has a maximum data transfer

speed of S400, but if the connected device

supports only S100 or S200, the actual data

transfer may be slower than 400 Mbps.

Mbps stands for “mega bits per second”. It

expresses the quantity of data that can be sent in 1

second. The SR9600 supports S400, therefore it

sends 400 Mb of data every second.

• The i.LINK feature does not assure the connection

Do not connect devices in a loop as shown in the figure.

• Carefully check the configuration of the i.LINK

connector before connecting an i.LINK cable.

Forcing the cable into the connector in the wrong

orientation can damage the connector.

• Do not connect an i.LINK cable with power to the

SR9600 on.

• Use an i.LINK cable that is no longer than 3.5 m

and that supports S400.

• Some players require i.LINK setup. For details,

see the instruction manual of the device.

*Some devices may require you to make settings with the device connected to the SR9600 during the setup.

•Audio signals input from the i.LINK connector are not output from the DIGITAL OUT jacks.

•With some source devices, it takes time before sound is produced. This time is needed to detect the status of both the device and the SR9600. The amount of time will differ according to the connected player.

Once the devices have been connected, activate power to the SR9600 and components, and make the settings as explained in “i.LINK SETUP” (see page 34). The i.LINK feature works as a temporary input source unless the settings are made. (See page 48)
