Cause
• An output signal is not produced from the
i.LINK connector on the source player.
• The selected component is not compatible
with i.LINK audio.
• The input signal is set to DIGITAL or
ANALOG.
• The DIGITAL or ANALOG input signal is
selected.
• The i.LINK cable has become disconnected. • Check all connections.
• The i.LINK cable is too long.
• The selected component does not
correspond to the i.LINK Audio format.
• The component between the unit and the
source player is turned off.
• During playback through an i.LINK
connection, if you change the settings for
other i.LINK components, the sound will be
discontinued momentarily.
• The program format indicators remain lit
until another format source is input.
• i.LINK-equipped component(s) are not
ready.
• i.LINK input setting is incorrect.
• Depending on the upgrade process, certain
components may cease to be recognized by
the receiver.
Explanation
The i.LINK bus has reached its capacity and cannot transmit any more data.
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.
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.
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.
The i.LINK network cannot function because the connected components form a loop. See Creating an
i.LINK network on page 64 for more on this.
When an i.LINK-equipped component has no name, this message is displayed instead of the proper
component name.
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 64 for more on
this.

while holding down RETURN. When you see DB CLEAR?
appear in the display, press ENTER, then SET UP to
confirm. When you've reset the i.LINK database memory,
DB CLEAR SET shows in the display. If DB ERROR is
displayed, step through the procedure again.
