Connecting Up
Connecting using i.LINK
If you have a receiver with an i.LINK connec-
tor, you can connect it to this player using
the supplied i.LINK cable.
The i.LINK connector outputs every kind of
digital audio that the player is compatible
with, including DVD-Video, DVD-Audio,
SACD, Video CD, CD and MP3. In contrast,
the optical and coaxial digital outputs do not
output SACD and multichannel DVD-Audio.
When playing DVD-Audio,*
discs over i.LINK, the digital audio is
jitterless if the connected receiver is compat-
ible with PQLS (rate control). See the
operating instructions that came with your
receiver for information on compatibility with
this feature.

Excluding any part of the disc that features
moving video (Video part).
• There may be cases where the PQLS/
rate control function and/or the i.LINK
audio does not work properly even when
connected to i.LINK Audio-compatible
equipment.
• Do not disconnect i.LINK cables or
switch off any components connected
using i.LINK while this player is on.
• Copy-protected 96kHz DVD-Video discs
are downsampled to 48kHz when using
the i.LINK connection.
