Automating a SONY STR-DE915 Amp/Receiver

Hi. Does anybody know of a way to get the SONY STR-DE915 Amp/Receiver to work with the Slink-e other than using IR? I know that when I have one of my CD players hooked up to it, pressing play on the CD player turns the AMP on and sets it to the CD input. I'd like to be able to automate this using the CDJ program. Is this possible? What port should I use on the SLINK-E (SLINK0-3? Control A?) What port should I connect the SLINK-E on the back of the amp? I've tried some things, and the CDJ program doesn't recognize the amp as a device. (What) am I doing wrong? Thanks for any and all assistance!
