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,*

CD or SACD
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.

using i.LINK while this player is on.

are downsampled to 48kHz when using
