What is i.LINK?
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
components for two-way communication.

This receiver is compatible with i.LINK Audio interface. With this interface you can enjoy digital audio from
SACD and DVD-A discs (if the player is compatible with these outputs), as well as digital audio from DVD-
Video, CD and Video CD discs.

Video, CD and Video CD discs.
When playing CD, SACD or DVD-A discs over an i.LINK connection, the digital audio is jitterless if the
connected player is compatible with PQLS (see page 6). See the operating instructions that came with your
i.LINK components for information on compatibility with these features.

Connecting i.LINK-equipped Components
If you have a component (such as a DVD player) with an i.LINK connector, you can connect it to the i.LINK
connectors on the rear of your receiver as shown below.
connectors on the rear of your receiver as shown below.
The i.LINK interface does not transmit video signals. So when you connect video components with i.LINK
cable, the video signal must be connected with other cables. Hook up the video signal with either component
video, S video, or composite video cords (see page 16) to available VIDEO IN terminals.

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 page 91).
