Using i/o Link.A

(rear view)

The Plasma Display System incorporates three typical i/o Link.A functions for smooth connections between Plasma Display and other audiovisual equipment.

One Touch Play

While the Plasma Display System is in standby mode, it automatically turns on and plays back images from the audiovisual source (e.g. VCR, DVD).

WYSIWYR (What You See Is What You Record)

When the remote control unit of the connected VCR has the WYSIWYR button, you can automatically start recording by pressing the WYSIWYR button.

Preset Download

Automatically transfers channel preset information from the tuner on the Plasma Display System to the one on the connected audiovisual equipment (e.g. VCR) via the INPUT 2 or 3 terminal.

NOTE

•The i/o Link.A functions work only when the audiovisual equipment is connected to the INPUT 2 or 3 terminal on the Plasma Display with i/o Link.A via a fully wired 21-pin SCART.

•Either INPUT 2 or 3 is available for i/o Link.A, depending on the switch on the rear of the Plasma Display.

•Using this switch, select the input terminal to which recording equipment such as a VCR has been connected.

•Refer to operation manuals of each external equipment for the details.

•If a SCART cable has been connected to the INPUT 3 terminal with the i/o Link.A activated, input signals (other than Component) are automatically identified and displayed. If the i/o Link.A has been deactivated, Video is always selected for signals other than RGB because the system cannot identify among RGB, Y/C (S-Video), and CVBS (Video) signals; for example, receiving Y/C (S-Video) signals results in monochrome display.
