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 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 63. 
This receiver 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 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 are 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 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 receiver 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 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.
