    The scattering of plane elastic waves by an anisotropic layered medium in the case of the six-beam diffraction is considered. The matrix method for solving wave equations is developed. The conversion coefficients Cij for the three types of incident waves (horizontally polarized shear wave, vertically polarized shear wave and longitudinal wave) are defined. Representations of coefficients Cij through elements of transfer matrix are found. The method for coefficients Cij calculations is presented. It does not require the solving of algebraic problem on eigenvalues for waves in an anisotropic layer. Some features of the functional dependencies of Cij on the angles of incidence, wave frequency and layer thickness are demonstrated on several examples of the crystals in a three-layer model. It is shown that the conversions SH wave into SV waves and SV wave into SH waves are equivalent.
