Q---Link

This is a Q ---LinkTV. Q--- Link, NEXTVIEWLINK and similar technology provide a way for a TV and VCR to communicate, making it easier to record programmes. In order to be able to exchange information both the TV and the VCR must be fitted with this technology, and must be connected with a SCART lead (full function type) between the AV2 socket of the TV and the appropriate socket on the VCR (see the VCR instruction book for details).

Q--- Link lets your TV instruct a compatible VCR to record the programme currently shown on screen, no matter what programme position is set on the VCR. In order to make use of Q ---Link, ensure that the Q ---Linkoption is set to On in the SETUP menu:

Press the SETUP menu button

Move to Q---Linkoption

Confirm Q---Linkoption is set to On

Press the TV/AV button at any time to go back to watching TV.

Press the DIRECT TV REC button

DWhenever the Auto setup function is used, tuning data will be downloaded to the VCR (see page 14).

DIf at any time you wish to turn off the Q---Linkfeature, follow the above procedure to get to the Q---Linkmenu option, then set the option to Off.
