Like Bobby suggested, check the remote output terminals connections--they
are both OUTputs, the one one the HU and the one on the XDP both output +12V
when the system is on. So make sure the only thing either is connected to
is/are amplifier(s).
The Alpine Ai-Net cable is indeed the same thing as the Sony cable and it
should work correctly though, as Bobby stated as well the cable might be
defective. Also make sure the UniLink cable is connected to the correct
port on the XDP! The labels can sometimes be confusing because you want to
connect the cable from the HU to the UniLink *output* connection on the XDP.
I'm pretty sure it is the output connection you want. Because the UniLink
connection on HUs is known as the UniLink or BUS Input.
I know that I always get confused with that and think that the input on the
slave units is supposed to be used but it is the other way around. That
might be your problem as well.
The other thing I would check, is the fuse on the XDP. Somehow I blew mine
mysteriously (perhaps I had touched a wire or something) and the result was
the same. Neither the HU or the XDP would power up. I checked all
connections and eventually found the fuse on the XDP blown. Replaced it and
everything was back up and running properly.
Another thing to do is to press the RESET button on the main unit once you
have connected everything. It should really automatically perform a BUS
reset when you connect everything but just in case, hit the reset button if
everything else as failed to reset the entire system.
