Pioneer Component links?

Someone mentioned Pioneer has a linked component system like JVC's
Compulink. I can't seem to locate information on this. Does anyone know what
it is called? Does it exist?

their high-end components use iLink. These components have an 'i'
attached to the model number eg. DV47ai

Thanks, I couldn't even find that on pioneers website!

Pioneer has a system, called SR, which is like JVC's CompuLink.

I don't know anything about iLink or whether it's compatible with or
the same as Pioneer SR. If you look at the back of Pioneer home
audio/video gear with the SR feature, you'll see the SR input and
output. It's probably also mentioned on the faceplates.

You can also see a description of SR he

If you search Pioneer's web site, you'll find a lot more about SR. For
example:

Yup. iLink refers only to a proprietary digital link between their
digital players and receivers. I didn't mean it referred
to a sort of system-wide linking protocol, sorry.

no problem. I'd never heard of iLink, so I'm learning something myself
here.

BTW, it seems to me there was some proposal to connect all home AV
gear using a standard that all makers could accept (like Firewire, or
something like that?). Guess that never happened. Given that so many
people choose to buy gear from many makers, it really would be great
if we could buy different brands, yet have an entire home AV system
behave as one.

I have gear from several different makers myself, but I have thought
that I might be better off with a one-brand system (such as JVC or
Sony) where all the gear could function as one system. This is
especially attractive given that I have a family and the other members
aren't interested in juggling many remotes and settings just to watch
a tape or DVD.

I'm still not sure what i-link is all about, but it seems that the SR is
what I was actually looking for. Pioneers website is really not very good.
IMO

The high data transfer rate cable called IEEE 1394 is also known as
FireWire, and also known as i-Link as far as I know. (thus FireWire is
the same thing as i-Link, their just labled differently by different
brands.

I'm not sure if Pioneer uses this in their A/V equiptment, maybe in
their high end Elite line.

I do know that they use a mini-phono type connection, similar to the
kind headphones use with portable CD Players. TI-83 and up series
calculators also use this kind of connection to transfer data between
two devices. If the component uses this it with have a square shaped
logo with the letters SR. This will alow a component such as a reiver
control a DVD player connected to it, with the same remote, and the IR
reciever for the remote on the DVD player wouldn't need to be visable.
