FReserved slot for i.LINK (AUDIO) terminals

The i.LINK (AUDIO) terminals (4 pin x 1, 6 pin x 1) will become available after a future hardware upgrade (charged).

In addition to the digital audio from CD and DVD, the i.LINK (AUDIO) terminals can transmit the digital audio from Super Audio CDs.

Connect the i.LINK (AUDIO) terminal to a digital audio source unit such as a Super Audio CD player (SZ-1, SA-10 (upgraded), etc.).

Use a commercially available S400 compatible i.LINK (IEEE1394) cable (6 pin or 4 pin).

<The i.LINK (AUDIO) terminal is an interface that transmits data both ways between the AI-10 and an external device. You don’t need to be concerned with distinguishing between inputs and outputs.

When multiple AI-10’s (upgraded) are connected using i.LINK cables as shown below, you can enjoy surround sound from Super Audio CD, DVD-Video and DVD-Audio.

UZ-1	WORD SYNC			i.LINK(AUDIO)
