• i.LINK Transmission Formats

i.LINK is the generic name for the IEEE 1394 digital interface standard of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers. It covers the transmission of data such as digital sound and the operation of connected devices.

Two i.Link transmission formats are MPEG-2TS, which is used in digital broadcasting, and DV, which is used by DVD recorders and for digital video.

This receiver supports the i.LINK (Audio)format. Only components that support i.LINK (Audio) can be connected to the SR9600. i.LINK (Audio) makes it possible to digitally transmit multichannel audio from DVD-Audio and Super Audio CDs.

This receiver also supports flow rate control. Using a high-precision crystal oscillator, this receiver can convert digital signals into analog signals without them being affected by jitter.

This receiver supports DTCP (Digital Transmission Content Protection). DTCP protects copyrights by authenticating and encoding data transmissions between digital components that use i.LINK. To play back DVD-Audio or Super Audio CDs using i.LINK, the connected device must support DTCP. Before connecting a component to this receiver, refer to its instruction manual.

• HDMI

HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) is an enhancement to the DVI (Digital Visual Interface) standard. It adds capabilities for digitally transmitting audio signals in addition to video signals. Where multiple cables were previously needed for audio/ video, HDMI enables audio/video connection via a single cable.

The HDMI jacks of this receiver support HDMI Ver.

1.1.The multichannel signals of DVD-Audio can be transmitted as digital signals without conversion.

This receiver supports HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection). HDCP is copyright protection technology that consists of data encoding and other device authentication. Its purpose is to protect digital video content. Both this receiver and the connected component (such as a video player or monitor) must support HDCP. Before connecting a component to this receiver, refer to its instruction manual.
