Cause
• 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.

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 73 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 73 for more on
this.
This is displayed on a playback component when PQLS turns off during playback. The sound may be
interrupted momentarily when this happens.
This is displayed on a playback component when PQLS turns on during playback. The sound may be
interrupted momentarily when this happens.
When an i.LINK-equipped component name cannot be recognized, this message is displayed instead of
the proper component name.
Remedy
• Select i.LINK or AUTO using the SIGNAL SELECT
button (see Selecting the input signal type on page 42).
• Use a cable less than 11 feet (3.5m) long.
• Refer to the manual for the selected component.
• When the source player is turned off or in standby, the
output signal is not produced. Refer to the manual for the
selected component.
• This is not a malfunction.
• This is not a malfunction.
• Turn on the component(s).
• Select the correct i.LINK input setting (see Assigning
the i.LINK inputs on page 78).
• You may need to reset the i.LINK database memory in
the receiver (use the front panel):
With the receiver in standby, press
while holding down STEREO/DIRECT. When you see DB
CLEAR? appear in the display, press MULTI CH IN, then
ACOUSTIC EQ again 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.
