i.LINK messages

You may see the following messages displayed in the front panel display when using the i.LINK interface.

Message	Explanation
BUS FULL	The i.LINK bus has reached its capacity and cannot transmit any more data.
CANNOT LINK 1	The connection between the receiver and the selected i.LINK-equipped component is unstable. If the
	i.LINK cables appear to be connected properly and both the receiver and i.LINK-equipped component are
	on, switch both units off, then on again to re-establish the connection between them.
CANNOT LINK 2	The receiver can’t identify the selected i.LINK-equipped component. For example, the receiver may not be
	able to identify an i.LINK-equipped personal computer.
LINK CHECK	The receiver is checking the i.LINK network. It does this when components are added to, or removed from
	the network. The sound may be interrupted if this happens during playback.
LOOP CONNECT	The i.LINK network cannot function because the connected components form a loop. See Creating an
	i.LINK network on page 50 for more on this.
NO NAME	When an i.LINK-equipped component has no name, this message is displayed instead of the proper
	component name.
NO SIGNAL	A component is outputting an i.LINK signal that the receiver cannot reproduce. This receiver can only
	reproduce signals from i.LINK-Audio-equipped components. See About i.LINK on page 49 for more on this.
PQLS OFF	This is displayed on a playback component when PQLS turns off during playback. The sound may be
	interrupted momentarily when this happens.
PQLS ON	This is displayed on a playback component when PQLS turns on during playback. The sound may be
	interrupted momentarily when this happens.
UNKNOWN	When an i.LINK-equipped component name cannot be recognized, this message is displayed instead of
	the proper component name.

continuously.
No picture or sound.	• This receiver is HDCP-compatible. Check that the components you are connecting are also HDCP-
	compatible. If they are not, please connect them using the component, S-video or composite video jacks.
	• Depending on the connected source component, it’s possible that it will not work with this receiver (even
	if it is HDCP-compatible). In this case, connect using the component, S-video or composit video jacks
	between source and receiver.
	• If the problem still persists when connecting your HDMI component directly to your monitor, please
	consult the component or monitor manual or contact the manufacturer for support.
