Connecting Using I.link - Pioneer DV-989AVi-S Operating Instructions Manual

02 Connecting up
• You usually have to connect the same
kind of video cable between your DVD
player and AV receiver, and between your
AV receiver and TV.

Connecting using i.LINK

If you have a receiver with an i.LINK
connector, you can connect it to this player
using the supplied i.LINK cable.
The i.LINK connector outputs every kind of
digital audio that the player is compatible
with, including DVD-Video, DVD-Audio,
SACD, Video CD/Super VCD, CD and MP3. In
contrast, the optical and coaxial digital
outputs do not output SACD and multi-
channel DVD-Audio.
When playing DVD-Audio
discs over i.LINK, the digital audio is jitterless
if the connected receiver is compatible with
PQLS (rate control). See the operating
instructions that came with your receiver for
information on compatibility with this feature.
*1 Excluding any part of the disc that features
moving video (Video part).
• There may be cases where the PQLS/rate
control function and/or the i.LINK audio
does not work properly even when
connected to i.LINK Audio-compatible
equipment.
• Do not disconnect i.LINK cables or switch
off any components connected using
i.LINK while this player is on.
• Copy-protected 96kHz DVD-Video discs
are downsampled to 48kHz when using
the i.LINK connection.
