One touch play
When the TV is in standby mode, it will automatically turn on and play back the image from the HDMI source.
Single remote control operation
HDMI CEC automatically recognises connected HDMI devices and you can control the TV and the devices as if using an universal remote control unit.
Operating title list of external devices
In addition to displaying the TV’s own timer list (Page 35), you can also call up the external player’s top menu or player’s / recorder’s title list provided that the devices support HDMI CEC.
Multiple control of HDMI devices
You can select which HDMI device to operate using the “Device List” menu.
NOTE
•When you use HDMI CEC, make sure to use a certified HDMI cable.
•Point the remote control unit toward the TV, not to the connected HDMI device.
•Video noise may occur depending on the type of HDMI cable used. Make sure to use a certified HDMI cable.
•Up to three HDMI recording devices, one AV amplifier and three players can be connected using this system.
•These operations affect the HDMI device selected as the current external source. If the device does not operate, turn on the device and select the appropriate external source using b.
•When you insert/remove HDMI cables or change connections, turn on all connected HDMI devices before turning on the TV. Confirm that picture and audio are correctly displayed/output by selecting “HDMI 1”, “HDMI 2”, “HDMI 3” or “HDMI 4” from the “INPUT” menu.
