Connecting AV COMPU LINKSupported Devices
AV COMPU LINK remote control system is a system in
which related devices are automatically controlled
when you operate one device.
If you apply this system to the TV, you can have the
TV automatically perform the required operations by
operating one external device. You don't have to use
the TV's remoto control to turn on the TV or change
the VIDEO modes.
Examples of the AV COMPU LINKremote control system operations
Simply by pressing the PLAY button on a VCR or a
DVD player, you can view images from the device.
Simply by inserting a pre-recorded tape (a tape with
the record safety tab removed) to a VCR, you can
view the tape.
Simply by operating the AV Control Receiver, you can
have the TV turned on/off (in standby mode) or the
VIDEO mode changed correctly.
•The performance of the AV COMPU LINK remote
control system varies depending on the connected
device. See the device’s instruction manual.
•When you select "TV SOUND" as the input source
with the AV Control Receiver, there are cases
where the TV's MUTING function automatically
operates and the sound from the TV's speakers is
muted.
In such cases, press the VOLUME-/+ buttons or
the MUTING button on the TV's remote control to
cancel the MUTING function. You can regain the
sound from the TV's speakers.
