i.LINK
is a digital
serial
interface
for handling
digital
video,
digital
audio,
and other
data
in two directions
between
equipment
having
an i.LINK
jack, and for controlling

i.LINK compatible
equipment
can be connected
using a single i.LINK
cable. Possible applications
are operations

of operation
sometimes
varies
according
to the characteristics
and specifications
of the equipment
to

not possible
on some
connected
equipment.

(megabits
per second).
To use this DTV as an i.LINK repeater
when the unit is powered
off,
