aluminum heat sinks .
• Current feedback 7 ch amplifier
Current feedback topology combines total operational
stability with excellent frequency response, while
requiring only minimal amounts of negative feedback.
It offers excellent transient response and superb
sonic transparency.
The SR9600 incorporates the most advanced
Digital Signal Processing circuitry, along with a
192 kHz/24 bit D/A converter in each of the 7
channels. Independent power supply circuits are
incorporated for the FL display, as well as audio
and video sections for maximum separation, clarity
and dynamic range. Together with hand-selected
customized components, all elements work in
harmony to recreate the emotion, exactly as the
artist intended.
The SR9600 is designed and engineered with
extensive feedback from custom installation
experts, dealers and consumers. It features multi-
room/multisource, assignable DC triggers, a RS-
232C communication port, flasher input, IR
receiver input, 4 emitter out heavy duty speaker
binding posts and an extensive array of both

• i.LINK Transmission Formats
i.LINK is the generic name for the IEEE 1394 digital
interface standard of the Institute of Electrical and
Electronics Engineers. It covers the transmission of
data such as digital sound and the operation of
connected devices.
Two i.Link transmission formats are MPEG-2TS,
which is used in digital broadcasting, and DV, which is
used by DVD recorders and for digital video.
This receiver supports the i.LINK (Audio)format. Only
components that support i.LINK (Audio) can be
connected to the SR9600. i.LINK (Audio) makes it
possible to digitally transmit multichannel audio from
DVD-Audio and Super Audio CDs.
This receiver also supports flow rate control. Using a
high-precision crystal oscillator, this receiver can
convert digital signals into analog signals without
them being affected by jitter.

Sony Corp.)
Copyright Protection
This receiver supports DTCP (Digital Transmission
Content Protection). DTCP protects copyrights by
authenticating and encoding data transmissions
between digital components that use i.LINK. To play
back DVD-Audio or Super Audio CDs using i.LINK,
the connected device must support DTCP. Before
connecting a component to this receiver, refer to its
instruction manual.
• HDMI
HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) is an
enhancement to the DVI (Digital Visual Interface)
standard. It adds capabilities for digitally transmitting
audio signals in addition to video signals. Where
multiple cables were previously needed for audio/
video, HDMI enables audio/video connection via a
single cable.
The HDMI jacks of this receiver support HDMI Ver.
1.1. The multichannel signals of DVD-Audio can be
transmitted as digital signals without conversion.
Copyright Protection
This receiver supports HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital
Content Protection). HDCP is copyright protection
technology that consists of data encoding and other
device authentication. Its purpose is to protect digital
video content. Both this receiver and the connected
component (such as a video player or monitor) must
support HDCP. Before connecting a component to
this receiver, refer to its instruction manual.
