To avoid battery leakage
If you don’t use the remote for an extended period of time,
remove the battery to avoid possible damage from battery
leakage and corr osion.
z
When to replace the battery
Under normal conditions, the battery should last for about six
months. When the remote no longer operates the deck, replace
the battery with new kne.
Notes on lithium battery
• Keep the lithium battery out of the r
each of the children.
Should the battery be swallowed, immediately consult a doctor .
• Wipe the battery with a dry cloth to assur e a good contact.
• Be sur e to observe the corr ect polarity when inserting the
battery .
• Do not hold the battery with metallic tweezers, otherwise a
short-cir cuit may occur .
WARNING
Battery may explode if mistr eated.
Do not rechar ge, disassemble, or dispose of in fire.

Branch connections
• Any i.LINK component with thr ee or mor e i.LINK
connectors can serve as a branch point.
• Up to 63 i.LINK components can be connected in a
single configuration. However , the maximum number
of components that can be daisy-chained in a single
route is 17 (i.e., a maximum of 16 i.LINK connecting
cables in a row). Each i.LINK cable used in a single
route is called a “hop.” For example, there ar e 6 hops in
the route between A and C in the illustration below , and
3 hops in the route between A and D.

Notes
• Some i.LINK components (such as personal computers) do not
transfer signals when they ar e turned off. Refer to the
operation manual of each component to be connected befor e
you hook them up.
• The maximum transmission rate of an i.LINK component is
printed near its i.LINK connector .
The indications S100,
S200,
and S400 refer to maximum transmission rates of 100, 200, or
400 Mbps*, respectively . The actual transmission rate may be
faster or slower , depending on the dif ferences in transmission
rates and specifications among the connected components.
z
What is Mbps?
“Mbps” is an abbr eviation for megabits per second. It indicates
the amount of data transmitted per second. For example, a rate
of 200 Mbps means 200 megabits of data ar e transmitted in one
second.
LINC (Logical INterface Connection)
Before an audio signal can be transmitted between i.LINK
components, a
components, a
“LINC” must first be established between
the receiving component (of the audio signal) and the
sending component. Establishing a “LINC” means
establishing a
sending component. Establishing a “LINC” means
establishing a
logical path for the transmission of
digital
audio signals between the two components. Each logical
path has an ID number . Since the component that sends
an audio signal must output the signal to a path, and the
component that r eceives the signal must input it from the
same path, the path must be mutually known by both
components. During the establishment of a LINC, the
following communication occurs between the two i.LINK
components.
