Using the i.LINK interface

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 15 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 Assigning the i.LINK inputs on page 82).

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.

•Copy-protected 96kHz DVD-Video discs can be heard through the i.LINK connection, but they will be down- sampled to 48kHz.

•The arrow on the cable connector body should be face down and lined up with the arrow below 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 Assigning the i.LINK inputs on page 82 to assign the component to an input on this receiver. Follow the operating instructions that came with the component to make any necessary output settings.

•Unassigned i.LINK components can be selected with the remote control INPUT button or the MULTI JOG dial on the front panel.

Note

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