02Connecting up

The system will not work if the connected components form a loop. If a loop is detected, the message LOOP CONNECT shows in the display. Figs. 3 and 4 show connections that form a loop.

Another consideration when connecting i.LINK devices is the speed of the interface. At present there are three speeds; S100 (slowest), S200 and S400 (fastest). This player uses the S400 type. Although you can use components with different speeds together, we recommend connecting slower speed components at the edge of the network if possible (shown by the shaded boxes in figs. 1 and 2). This will keep the network free of bottlenecks.

When used within an i.LINK network, this player must be on for the i.LINK connection to be maintained. Other components in the network may or may not maintain the connec- tion in standby (none will when the power is completely off)—check the operating instruc- tions supplied with individual components. Note that the audio may be momentarily inter- rupted if a component in the i.LINK network is switched on/off, or its i.LINK connection is switched on/off.

Connecting using HDMI

If you have a HDMI or DVI (with HDCP) equipped monitor or display, you can connect it to this player using a commercially available HDMI cable.

The HDMI connector outputs uncompressed digital video, as well as almost every kind of digital audio that the player is compatible with, including DVD-Video, DVD-Audio (see below for limitations), Video CD/Super VCD, CD and MP3.

HDMI OUT interconnect on this player to an HDMI interconnect on a HDMI-compat- ible monitor.

The arrow on the cable connector body should be face up for correct alignment with the connector on the player.
