i.LINK (IEEE 1394)

The i.LINK (AUDIO) terminals will become available after a future hardware upgrade (charged).

The i.LINK is also known as IEEE 1394, an international specification.

By connecting an i.LINK (AUDIO)-capable device to the i.LINK (AUDIO) terminal on this unit using an i.LINK cable, you can transmit Super Audio CD multi-channel signals that could not be transmitted but in analog format in the past can be transmitted in its original digital format, in addition to the capability of transmitting 2-ch linear PCM data.

If you have multiple i.LINK-capable devices, you can connect them through other devices to transmit data between them, so you don’t need to be concerned with the order of connection.

Copyright protection system DTCP

To play back audio sounds recorded on Super Audio CD using i.LINK, both the player and the D/A converter need to be compliant to the copyright protection system DTCP (Digital Transmission Content Protection).

This unit is DTCP compliant.

Data transfer rate

There are three transfer rates: 100 Mbps (S100), 200 Mbps (S200), and 400 Mbps (S400). This unit is capable of transferring data at a maximum 400Mbps.

For connection to an i.LINK-capable device, use a commercially available S400-compliant i.LINK cable (6-pin or 4-pin).

When connecting multiple i.LINK-capable devices, avoid connecting a device having a slow transfer rate between devices having high transfer rates since this reduces the transfer rate of the whole system. Connect devices having high transfer rates towards the source as far “up-stream” as possible.

NOTES

<Among the i.LINK formats there are “MPEG-2 TS” for BS digital sources and “DV” for digital video for DVD recorders, as well as the “i.LINK (AUDIO)” (A&M Protocol). Never connect devices that are not compatible with i.LINK (AUDIO) to this unit. If you do, this unit and other components may not operate normally and may also become damaged.

<In the process of data transfer, avoid plugging/unplugging the i.LINK cables in use or switch on/off the power.

<Among i.LINK-capable devices, there are some that, if not turned on, are not capable of relaying data.

<Some i.LINK-capable devices will not respond to this unit's command. This is normal and is due to incompatibility among i.LINK devices.

<The receiving device may not support the output modes of this unit. Read through the instruction manual of devices you want to connect before making any connections.

Flow rate control

This unit supports i.LINK flow rate control. Flow rate control means that audio data transferred via i.LINK is first stored in RAM of this unit after which the high-precision clock in the unit is used to retrieve the data from RAM to avoid the transfer jitter normally associated with i.LINK transfer. This unit transfers commands to the playback device to change the data transfer rate and control the playback device when data accumulated in RAM exceeds or goes below a certain amount due to differences in clock frequencies in the playback device and this unit. Flow rate control functions in transfers between this unit and another unit.
