About HDMI

HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface) supports both video and audio on a single digital connection for use with DVD players, DTV, set-top boxes, and other AV devices. HDMI was developed to provide the technolo- gies of High Bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP) as well as Digital Visual Interface (DVI) in one specification. HDCP is used to protect digital content transmitted and received by DVI-compliant displays.

HDMI has the capability to support standard, enhanced, or high-definition video plus standard to multi-channel surround-sound audio. HDMI features include uncom- pressed digital video, a bandwidth of up to 2.2 gigabytes per second (with HDTV signals), one connector (instead of several cables and connectors), and communication between the AV source and AV devices such as DTVs.

Using the i.LINK interface

VSX-84TXSi 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 63). 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.
