Notes on connecting SMARTLINK and other equipment

PLEASE NOTE: This product includes new SMARTLINK functions for control of a digital receiver in a SMARTLINK system. These functions may not work with existing Sony SMARTLINK products, but are designed to work with future Sony SMARTLINK products.

TV connection for

SMARTLINK

If your TV is SMARTLINK compatible, ensure that the cable from the TV scart socket of the receiver is connected to the scart socket that supports SMARTLINK on your TV. This will ensure that you have access to the SMARTLINK features. One of these features may enable the receiver to bring the TV out of its standby mode automatically when you switch the receiver on.

The best signal quality is achieved using the RGB mode of this receiver. However, this may not be available on the SMARTLINK compatible scart of your TV.

Note: When the TV is put into standby mode, the receiver may also go into standby.

VCR connection for

SMARTLINK

If your VCR is SMARTLINK compatible, ensure that the cable from the VCR scart socket of the receiver is connected to the scart socket that supports SMARTLINK on your VCR. This will ensure that you have access to the SMARTLINK features and will enable the receiver to inform the VCR when to start and stop recording timed events and to download the programme title to the VCR.

VCR connection for Synchro record

If your VCR supports synchro recording, ensure that the cable from the VCR scart socket of the receiver is connected to the scart socket that supports synchro recording on your VCR. When you have set a timer event, put your VCR into the synchro recording mode (refer to your VCR manual).

Receiver/VCR connection

When the VCR is turned On or is in Playback (dependant on the VCR), the receiver will automatically switch the signals through to the TV. This will also be done when the receiver is in the standby mode.

Note: To return to a programme from the receiver, press the l/1 button on the remote control to switch off the receiver, then press the l/1 button once more to resume normal operation.

Hi-Fi

This receiver can be connected to your Hi-Fi using either a digital optical lead or a stereo/analogue lead. These can be connected to the 3.5mm socket on the rear of the receiver (see page 7).

Please note that the digital optical output is PCM audio only.

Notes:Not all scart cables are compatible with SMARTLINK.

Please ensure that you use a fully wired scart cable as supplied.

SMARTLINK operation may sometimes be referred to as MEGALOGIC, NexTView, T-V Link, EASYLINK/cinemaLink, or Q-Link. Please refer to your TV/VCR manuals for further information.

In some cases the SMARTLINK functionality may not work as described. This may be due to compatibility issues between equipment connected in your system. In this case it is recommended that you do not use SMARTLINK. For further information contact the Sony UK Helpline (see the inside front cover of this manual).

If you wish to use SMARTLINK equipment, please ensure that the SMARTLINK option is set to ‘On’ in the Picture settings. (refer to page 10)
