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 receiver uses the S400 type. Although you can use components with different speeds together, we recommend connecting
When used within an i.LINK network, this receiver must be on for the i.LINK connection to be maintained. Other components in the network may or may not maintain the connection in standby (none will when the power is completely
This product complies with the following i.LINK interface specifications:
1)IEEE Std.
2)Audio and Music Data Transmission Protocol 2.0 Following the standard for AM824 sequence adaptation layers, the product is compatible with IEC60958 bitstream,

3If you’re connecting for the first time, wait for the USB driver installation to finish.
The installation may take a minute or two to complete. Make sure you leave the USB cable connected until the dialog box indicates that the USB setup is finished. Note that some older operating systems may require a disc for installation.
4Press ‘USB’ on the remote control Home menu
(
) screen.
You can also use the INPUT SELECTOR dial on the front panel to select USB.
