Q-Link

Q-Link allows the television to communicate with a compatible VCR or DVD Recorder.

For Q-Link communication to work, the TV must be connected to a recording device with the “Q-Link”, “NEXTVIEWLINK”, “DATA LOGIC”, “Easy Link”, “Megalogic” or “SMARTLINK” logo using a “fully wired” Scart cable between the AV1 / AV2 terminal of the television and the appropriate terminal on your VCR or DVD Recorder.

For connection to the appropriate Scart terminal on the recording device, refer to the device’s instruction book.

When using a “NEXTVIEWLINK” device the main features possible are the following:

Preset Download

This allows the programme order from the TV to be downloaded to the recording device, helping to ensure that correct recordings are made; there are several ways to perform this operation:

1.During installation as explained in the “Quick Start Guide” on page 5, 6.

2.When Auto setup is started from within the Tuning menu. See page 12.

3. Preset download started from the recording device, refer to the device’s instruction book. OK

What You See Is What You Record (DIRECT TV RECORDING)

This will allow the immediate recording of the programme currently shown on the TV, by the recording device attached to the Scart terminal, which can be chosen using “Q-Link”. See page 11.

DIRECT TV REC

Press the DIRECT TV REC button.

If the recording device is in Standby mode with usable recording media inserted, it will automatically switch on when you press the DIRECT TV REC button.
