The ai has a 4 pin firwire or i link to connect with a compatable dvd source.

Hi
Thanks for the Info
I'm still trying to work out the Ais and what is different on the AiS,
is the one with the Large S a newer Model ?
Thanks

There is no difference between the two models, it's just how it was typed.

Both the AX10i-S and the AX10Ai-S have i Link (firewire)

Full details of each:

AX10i-S http://www.pioneer.co.uk/uk/product_...onomy_id=62-98

AX10Ai-S http://www.pioneer.co.uk/uk/product_...onomy_id=42-98

When I was looking at these models, the average price second hand or ex-demo was around £1500. Pioneer themselves told me that I would find it difficult to hear the difference between my AX5i-S and the AX10Ai-S, so I would expect the audible difference between the AX10i-S and the AX10Ai-S to be negligible.

Thanks Steve
Reason I was asking. I purchased on Saturday an Ex Demo Ax10 Ai on the Box it had a small s.
when I did a search for a review came across 2 on HCC reviews one for sep 2004 which reviewed Ais
then Oct 2004 AiS so was a bit confused whether one was an older model
anyway that's cleared up i hope..

I may be wrong but looking at the Pioneer site i think the S merely indicates a silver finish.

There are two different version of the VSA-AX10i - all siver

I have the 1st one, the latter ones that have the s or S, have small cosmetic changes, and different remote (shaped more like a PDA). They also have HDMI connectors (which mine doesn't have). They also have the Window Media Audio one the front graphics. The display also show volume in 0.5dB setps, which mine doesn't

Mainly small changes

None of the AX10... range have HDMI.

That would have been my next question where are the HDMI connections I have the Pioneer with the windows mediaa logo etc but have not come across any I/O for HDMI ?

Yes, sorry you are correct. No HDMI on the later modle of the amp.
It was the leter version of my DVD Player that had HDMI added.

Sorry my goof.
