Establishing a LINC
Before an audio signal can be transmitted
between i.LINK components, a LINC
(Logical Interface Connection) must first be
established between the receiving component
(of the audio signal) and the sending
component.
Establishing a LINC means establishing a
logical path for the transmission of digital
audio signals between the two components.
Each logical path has an ID number. Since the
component that sends an audio signal must
output the signal to a path, and the component
that receives the signal must input it from the
same path, the path must be mutually known
by both components. During the
establishment of a LINC, the following
communication occurs between the two
i.LINK components.
Example
1 TA-DA9000ES/STR-DA7100ES
establishes a LINC with DVP-NS9100ES.
TA-DA9000ES/STR-DA7100ES sends a
request and path information to DVP-
NS9100ES to establish a transmission path
for the audio signal.
TA-DA9000ES
STR-DA7100ES
2 DVP-NS9100ES responds to TA-
DA9000ES/STR-DA7100ES, agreeing to the
establishment of a LINC. The digital audio
signal transmission becomes possible only
after the communication described above has
occurred and a LINC has been established.

H.A.T.S. function
When the H.A.T.S. function of TA-
DA9000ES/STR-DA7100ES is "ON," digital
audio signals are momentarily stored in a
buffer, then read with exact timing before
being converted to analog. This eliminates
the jitter (timing lapses) that sometimes occur
during digital signal transmission and greatly
improves sound quality.
When this function is turned on, "H.A.T.S."
lights up in the display of TA-DA9000ES/

<
STR-DA7100ES whenever the digital audio
signal is input to the receiver. When not using
this function, set it to "OFF" on TA-
DA9000ES/STR-DA7100ES. For details,
refer to the Operating Instructions supplied
with TA-DA9000ES/STR-DA7100ES.
Notes
• Because of the way the H.A.T.S. function
operates, a slight time lag is introduced between
each operation (e.g., pressing play, stop, or pause)
and its implementation. The duration of this time
lag may be different for CD and Super Audio CD
sources.
• The H.A.T.S. function works only with H.A.T.S.
compatible components.
• The H.A.T.S. function is available only for music
CDs and Super Audio CDs.
Copyright
i.LINK components complying with
copyright protection incorporate digital data
copy protection technology. One such
technology is the DTLA (The Digital
Transmission Licensing Administrator)
recognized by the Copy Protection Technical
Working Group. It may not be possible to
make digital copies of copy restricted digital
data (video/audio/data) using i.LINK signals
between components that comply with the
DTLA copy protection technology. In
addition, it may not be possible to transfer
digital data (video/audio/data) via i.LINK
between i.LINK components which comply
with DTLA copy protection and i.LINK
components which do not.
i.LINK is a designation referring to IEEE 1394-
1995 and IEEE 1394a-2000. i.LINK and the i.LINK
