Interconnection of i.LINK (AUDIO)-supported Devices

The i.LINK connection allows for data transfer, even if the DTR-10.5 is connected to other devices via another i.LINK
(AUDIO)-supported device. You can connect up to 17 devices in a daisy chain (in-line) connection arrangement using
the i.LINK connection.

Notes:

• Do not connect any devices that do not support i.LINK (AUDIO), such as “MPEG-2 TS” ready devices used for BS

digital broadcasts and “DV” ready devices used for digital video, etc.

• Do not connect/disconnect i.LINK cable to or from other devices, connect additional devices, or turn them on/off

while any i.LINK (AUDIO)-ready device is playing. Otherwise, the audio sound may be interrupted.

• Some i.LINK (AUDIO)-ready devices cannot transfer data when the power mode is set to standby or off. Refer to

the individual User Manual of the i.LINK (AUDIO)-ready device you want to connect.

• i.LINK (AUDIO)-ready devices have their own maximum data transfer rate: either S100 (100 Mbps*), S200 (200

Mbps*) or S400 (400 Mbps*). The rate label is located near the i.LINK (AUDIO) terminals. The DTR-10.5 has a
maximum data transfer rate of 400 Mbps. However, this may decrease depending on the specifications or the maxi-
mum data transfer rate of devices connected to the DTR-10.5. It is recommended to connect devices with the same
maximum data transfer rate.

*“Mbps” stands for “mega bits per second” which indicates the maximum data size transferred per second. For example, 400 Mbps
indicates that 400 mega bits of data can be transferred every second.

• The i.LINK feature does not assure successful connectivity between all i.LINK (AUDIO)-ready devices. Successful

data transfer and control signal communications depend on the individual features of each device.

... up to 17 devices

Example:

... up to 63 devices

For devices in a branched connection arrangement, you can connect up to 63, as long as they have three or more
i.LINK (AUDIO) terminals.

Be sure to avoid the looped connection arrangement of devices as shown below. The output signals should not be
returned to the original signal output device, which may cause device failure.
