Do you own a Pioneer DV-59AVi DVD Player? If so, do you have the
audio connected through the i-Link (IEEE-1394) port?

I would truly apprecuitae your help. Does your i-link connection
work as advertised? Are there any problems? What receiver
or preamp are you usingf?

I have this player and have connected it to an Intehgra research
RDC-7.1 pre-amp. The i-Link connection does not work. So far,
I have tried 2 i-link cards in the RDC-7.1, 2 DV-59AVi players and
3 i-Link cables, all with the same (non) result. Pioneer tells me
that their player should worlk fine with any i-Link compatible
preamp. I' e shipped the preamp to integra research and they
claim that the i-Link connection is working fine with *their* DVD
player. I am stuck with $7000 equipment that doesn't work and
each company claims that *their* piece works just fine....
