Using the i.LINK interface

VSX-74TXVi only

If you have a component with an i.LINK connector, you can connect it to this receiver using an i.LINK cable.

Since the i.LINK interface does not transmit video signals, the video signal of i.LINK-connected compo- nents must be connected with other cables (see Connecting your equipment on page 10 for more on making video connections). If you’ve already hooked up the video signal from the component, assign the i.LINK input to the input function to which you’ve connected the video signals (see The Input Setup menu on page 61). See Checking the i.LINK inputs below to confirm your i.LINK settings.

The two i.LINK connectors on the rear of your receiver are 4-pin connectors. Use a 4-pin, S400 i.LINK cable to connect i.LINK-equipped components.

Caution

•If your i.LINK connector comes into contact with metallic parts of the receiver other than the i.LINK terminal, an electrical short may occur. Some cables have metal parts that may touch the unit when connected. Please take care to use a suitable i.LINK cable only.

Important

•Please use 4-pin, S400 cables less than 3.5 meters long. Although longer ones are available, they may not work reliably.

•There may be cases where the PQLS/rate control function and/or the i.LINK audio does not work prop- erly even when connected to i.LINK Audio-compat- ible equipment.

•Do not connect/disconnect i.LINK cables or switch on/off any components connected using i.LINK when the receiver is on.

1Use an i.LINK cable to connect one of the i.LINK connectors on this receiver to an i.LINK connector on your i.LINK component.

i.LINK-equipped component

•The arrow on the cable connector body should be lined up with the arrow (to the left of the connector) on the receiver for correct alignment. The i.LINK cable should be inserted straight into the connector so that it snaps easily into place. If not connected properly the receiver will not be able to recognize any connected components. Note that the i.LINK cable is fragile and can be broken easily if too much force is used when connecting.

2Assign the i.LINK component to the input you want, then make any necessary output settings on the component.

See The Input Setup menu on page 61 to assign the component to an input function on this receiver. Follow the operating instructions that came with the component to make any necessary output settings.

•You can connect several components together using i.LINK. See Creating an i.LINK network below.
