Using Link Control

Controlling HDMI Equipment Using Link Control

What’s Link Control?

Using the HDMI CEC (Consumer Electronics Control) protocol, with Link Control you can interactively operate compatible system equipment (Blu-ray disc equipment, AV amplifi er, DVD).

By connecting Link Control-compatible devices with HDMI-certifi ed cables to the TV, you can control a recorder or AV amplifi er using the remote control of the TV.

Link Control allows you to operate the HDMI-connected equipment with one remote control.

For connecting the TV to Link Control-compatible equipment, use commercially available cables.

Point the remote control toward the TV, not to connected HDMI equipment.

Video noise may occur depending on the type of HDMI cable used. Make sure to use an HDMI-certifi ed cable.

Up to 3 pieces of HDMI recording equipment and one AV amplifi er can be connected using this system.

These operations affect the HDMI equipment selected as the current input source. If the equipment does not operate, turn on the equipment and select the appropriate input source using INPUT.

Connected Link Control-compatible devices can be operated without changing the settings of the remote control unit.

When you use the Link Control function, set "Link Control" to "On" (see page 63).

The LINK CTRL button will function only when Link Control is used.

One Touch Play

While the TV is in standby mode, it automatically turns on and plays back the image from the HDMI source.

Single remote control

The Link Control automatically recognizes the connected HDMI device and you can control the TV and the devices as if using a universal remote control.
