Checking the i.LINK inputs

If you have several i.LINK-equipped components and have assigned them to input functions in The Input Setup menu on page 61, you can confirm the settings you made below.

1Select ‘i.LINK Check’ from the Other Setup menu and press ENTER.

See The Other Setup menu on page 62 for more on navigating this menu screen.

•If no i.LINK-equipped components are connected i.LINK Check cannot be selected.

2Scroll through the list to confirm your settings. When a number of i.LINK-equipped components are connected to your receiver, the i.LINK-equipped component you are looking for might be listed on additional display screens.

•i.LINK is displayed after unassigned device names (e.g. DV-79AVi [i.LINK]).

•If a connected devices cannot output (playback) a source using the i.LINK connection, [- - - -]is displayed after the input device name (e.g. DV-79AVi [- - - -]). Non-compatible devices cannot be assigned to inputs.

•When the cables for an assigned input device become loose or the power is cut to the device, an asterisk (*) appears before the device name (e.g. *DV-79AVi [CD]).

3When you're finished, press RETURN.

About i.LINK

About PQLS rate control

Pioneer's PQLS (Precision Quartz Lock System) technology provides high-precision digital audio from DVD-A, SACD and audio CD sources when you use the i.LINK interface. A precision quartz controller in this receiver eliminates distortion caused by timing errors (jitter), giving you the best possible digital-to-analog conversion from the digital source.

To take advantage of PQLS, you must have a player compatible with rate-control, and it must be switched on and connected to this receiver through the i.LINK network.

Creating an i.LINK network

Using i.LINK it is possible to chain up to 17 components together so that the digital audio and control signals from each component is available to other components in the network. With the addition of an i.LINK repeater, it’s possible to connect up to 63 components.

i.LINK connectors come in 4-pin and 6-pin configura- tions. This player uses the 4-pin connection, but the two types can be mixed on a network.

This receiver is compatible with i.LINK Audio (A&M protocol) components, such as DVD players. Note that when connected to i.LINK MPEG-II TS equipment (such as a digital satellite tuner), i.LINK DV equipment (such as a DVD recorder or DV camcorder), or an i.LINK-equipped personal computer, audio and video signals are not transmitted, and connecting to these devices sometimes causes network interruptions. Check the operating instructions supplied with your other i.LINK components for compatibility information.

This receiver is DTCP (Digital Transmission Content Protection) compliant, so you can play DVD-A, DVD- Video, and SACD i.LINK audio.

When setting up an i.LINK network, it’s important that the components form an open ended chain (fig. 1), or a tree (fig. 2).

fig. 1 i.LINK cable

i.LINK is a trademark name for IEEE1394, a high-speed interface for digital audio, video and other data found on personal computers, digital camcorders, and other kinds of audio and audio/visual equipment. A single i.LINK connector can both send and receive data at the same time, so only one cable is required to connect compo- nents for two-way communication.
