    USING I.LINK This unit is fitted with two i.LINK (AUDIO) connectors. By connecting components that support i.LINK (AUDIO) connections, in addition to digital transmission of 2-ch linear PCM signals and audio signals that have been compressed in multi-channel format, you can also send and receive uncompressed multi-channel audio signals, such as DVD audio and Super Audio CD signals for which digital transmission was not previously possible.

  • Page 99: Assigning I.link Components

    Assigning i.LINK components When an i.LINK component is connected, this unit automatically recognizes the connection and registers the connected component. Registered i.LINK components, such as CD or DVD players, can be assigned to a specific input. Assigning an i.LINK component to a specific input allows you to select the video input signals from that component together with the audio signals received via the i.LINK connection for simultaneous playback.

  • Page 106 SOUND FIELD OPTIONS Liveness (Liveness) This parameter adjusts the reflectivity of the virtual walls in the hall by changing the rate at which the early reflections decay. The early reflections of a sound source decay much faster in a room with acoustically absorbent wall surfaces than in one which has highly reflective surfaces.
  • Page 107 Rev. Delay (Reverberation delay) This parameter adjusts the time difference between the beginning of the direct sound and the beginning of the reverberation sound. The larger the value, the later the reverberation sound begins. A later reverberation sound makes you feel like you are in a larger acoustic environment.
