If you have the i.LINK component SCD-
XA9000ES, connect to this amplifier with an
i.LINK cable (supplied with SCD-XA9000ES).
This amplifier is only compatible with i.LINK
connections to the SCD-XA9000ES. i.LINK
connections to SCD-XA9000ES through other
components, and i.LINK connections to other
component are not guaranteed.
Notes
• If a metal object should fall into the i.LINK jack,
short-circuiting may occur and damage the
components.
• Be sure to insert the plug firmly to prevent
malfunction.
• For details about compatible signals, see page 54.
This amplifier cannot process incompatible signals
such as DV, MICROMV, or MPEG-TS. Some
i.LINK components conform to copy protection
technology standards and handle encrypted signals.
This amplifier conforms to the copy protection
technology of DTLA (Revision 1.2).
• Sound fields and LIP SYNC function (page 37) are
not activated when DSD signals are input to this
amplifier.
Establishing a LINC
Before an audio signal can be transmitted
between i.LINK components, a LINC (Logical
INterface Connection) must first be established
between the component receiving the audio
signal and the component sending the audio
signal. Establishing a LINC means establishing
a logical path for the transmission of digital
audio signals between the two components.
Each logical path has an ID number. Since the
component that sends an audio signal must
output the signal to a path, and the component
that receives the signal must input it from the
same path, the path must be mutually known by
both components. During the establishment of a
LINC, the following communication occurs
between the two i.LINK components.
Example
This amplifier establishes a LINC with SCD-
XA9000ES. Select i.LINK using the INPUT
SELECTOR on this unit, and set the player to i.LINK
output mode.
1
This amplifier sends a request and path information
to SCD-XA9000ES to establish a transmission path
for the audio signal.
2
SCD-XA9000ES responds to the component,
agreeing to the establishment of a LINC.
The digital audio signal transmission becomes possible
only after the communication described above has
occurred and a LINC has been established.
Notes
The LINC is cancelled in the following cases.
– When i.LINK cable is connected or disconnected.
– When the input selection is switched.
