Q Link

This function works only if the unit is connected via a fully wired 21- pin Scart cable to a TV featuring the Q Link or similar function.

Q Link offers the following functions: ≥Download from the TV§

When you connect the unit to a TV, the station list data is automatically copied from the TV to the unit, and the TV stations are assigned to the programme positions on the unit in the same order as on the TV.

≥Direct TV Recording

By simply pressing [¥ DIRECT TV REC], you can at once record the same programme that you are watching on the TV.

≥TV/DVD Auto On§

Even if the TV and the unit are off (standby mode), pressing

[1] (PLAY), [DIRECT NAVIGATOR, TOP MENU], [ShowView] or [PROG/CHECK] automatically turns on both the TV and the unit. If the TV is off (standby mode) and the unit is on, when you press [FUNCTIONS] or [1] (PLAY), or insert the disc (except DVD-RAM and DVD-R), the TV automatically is turned on.

≥DVD Auto Standby§

When you turn the TV off, the unit is turned off as well. However, this function works in the stop mode.

This function does not work during the following operations: Preset Download, Auto-Setup, Auto Clock Setting and Manual Tuning. This function does also not work when the DVD drive selected and an audio CD is in the disc tray.

VPS (Video Programme System)/PDC (Programme Delivery Control)

≥On-Screen Messages§

When you are watching a TV programme, the following messages appear on the TV screen to inform you of the unit’s condition:

§These operations are only available if the unit is connected to a TV featuring the Q Link function.

[Note]

If “Power Save” is set to “On”, Direct TV Recording function does not work when the unit is switched off (standby mode).

VPS or PDC is a very convenient system which records exactly from beginning to end of the TV programmes set in timer recording, even if the actual broadcasting time differs from the scheduled time due to delayed start or extension of the programme duration. Also, if a programme is interrupted, for example, some special news is inserted, the recording will be paused automatically and resumed when the programme continues. Depending on the signals sent from the TV stations, the VPS/PDC system may not work properly even when “VPS/PDC” has been set to “ON”. Please check with the broadcasters in your area for details.

≥In the case of VPS/PDC recording, use the correct time (VPS/PDC time) for recording the TV programmes. Set “VPS/PDC” to “OFF” when the recording time is not the correct time (VPS/PDC time).

VPS/PDC recording is not performed when the time (VPS/PDC time) is incorrect, even if only by one minute. To find out the correct time (VPS/ PDC time), consult Teletext, a newspaper or magazine, or other source.

≥If the actual broadcasting times of timer recordings overlap (regardless of whether they are VPS/PDC controlled), the recording that starts first always has priority, and the recording of the later programme will start only after the first timer recording has finished.

≥When the VPS/PDC signal drops out because the broadcast signal is weak, or when a TV station does not transmit a regular VPS/PDC signal, the timer recording will be performed in the normal mode (without VPS/PDC) even if it was programmed for VPS/PDC.

In this case, even if the timer recording is performed, whatever has been programmed will not be cancelled at that particular time but at 4 a.m. two days later.

≥The start times of scheduled programmes listed in the newspaper or magazine may be changed at a later date. Set “VPS/PDC” to “OFF” when programming a programme whose start time has been subsequently changed. Particular care must be taken in this respect with SHOWVIEW programming since “VPS/PDC” is automatically set to “ON” in some countries (➡below).

≥If a programme listed in a newspaper or magazine has two SHOWVIEW numbers, use the SHOWVIEW number for VPS/PDC if you wish to proceed with VPS/PDC recording using SHOWVIEW programming.

≥The default settings for “VPS/PDC” differ depending on the country concerned. Refer to the following table.
