If you have the i.LINK component SCD-
XA9000ES, connect to this receiver with an 
i.LINK cable (supplied with SCD-XA9000ES).
This receiver is compatible with the i.LINK 
connection with SCD-XA9000ES only. The 
i.LINK connection to SCD-XA9000ES through 
other component, and i.LINK connection 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.
• About the compatible signals, see page 61. This 
receiver cannot deal with incompatible signals such 
as DV, MICROMV, or MPEG-TS. Some i.LINK 
components conforms to copy protection technology 
and deals with encrypted signals. This receiver 
conforms to the copy protection technology of 
DTLA (Revision 1.2).
• Sound fields and LIP SYNC function (page 41) are 
not activated when DSD signals is input to this 
receiver.
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 receiving component (of the audio 
signal) and the sending component. 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 receiver establishes a LINC with SCD-
XA9000ES.
1
This receiver 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.
