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. Roland M.
