Connecting AV Components—Continued

Interconnection of i.LINK (AUDIO)-supported Devices

The i.LINK connection allows for data transfer, even if the TX-NR1000/TX-NR5000E is connected to other devices via another i.LINK (AUDIO)-supported device. You can connect up to 17 devices in a daisy chain (in-line) connection arrangement using the i.LINK connection.

Example: TX-NR1000/TX-NR5000E

i.LINK ready DVD player i.LINK-ready BS tuner

... up to 17 devices

For devices in a branched connection arrangement, you can connect up to 63, as long as they have three or more i.LINK (AUDIO) terminals.

Example: TX-NR1000/TX-NR5000E

i.LINK-ready DVD player i.LINK-ready BS tuner

... up to 63 devices

i.LINK-ready MD recorder

Be sure to avoid the looped connection arrangement of devices as shown below. The output signals should not be returned to the original signal output device, which may cause device failure.

Notes:

Do not connect any devices that do not support i.LINK (AUDIO), such as “MPEG-2 TS” ready devices used for BS digital broadcasts and “DV” ready devices used for digital video, etc.

Do not connect/disconnect i.LINK cable to or from other devices, connect additional devices, or turn them on/off while any i.LINK (AUDIO)-ready device is playing. Otherwise, the audio sound may be interrupted.

Some i.LINK (AUDIO)-ready devices cannot transfer data when the power mode is set to standby or off. Refer to the individual User Manual of the i.LINK (AUDIO)-ready device you want to connect.

i.LINK (AUDIO)-ready devices have their own maximum data transfer rate: either S100 (100 Mbps*), S200 (200 Mbps*) or S400 (400 Mbps*). The rate label is located near the i.LINK (AUDIO) terminals. The TX-NR1000/ TX-NR5000E has a maximum data transfer rate of 400 Mbps. However, this may decrease depending on the specifi- cations or the maximum data transfer rate of devices connected to the TX-NR1000/TX-NR5000E. It is recom-

mended to connect devices with the same maximum data transfer rate.

*“Mbps” stands for “mega bits per second” which indicates the maximum data size transferred per second. For example, 400 Mbps indicates that 400 mega bits of data can be transferred every second.

The i.LINK feature does not assure successful connectivity between all i.LINK (AUDIO)-ready devices. Successful data transfer and control signal communications depend on the individual features of each device.
