Q Link

This function works only if the unit is connected via a fully-wired 21-pin Scart cable to a TV featuring the Q Link or similar function. Q Link offers the following functions:

1)Download from the TV*

When you connect the unit to a TV, the station list data is automatically copied from the TV to the unit, and the TV stations are assigned to the programme positions on the unit in the same order as on the TV.

2)Direct TV Recording

By simply pressing [DIRECT TV REC] (17), you can at once record the same programme that you are watching on the TV.

3)TV/DVD Auto On*

While the TV and the unit are in standby, pressing [1] (21), [TOP MENU, DIRECT NAVIGATOR] (9), [VIDEO Plus+] (2) or [PROG/ CHECK] (13) automatically turns on both the TV and the unit.

If the TV is in standby and this unit is on, when you press the [FUNCTION] (11) or the [1] (21), or insert the disc (except DVD-RAM and DVD-R), the TV automatically is turned on.

4)DVD Auto Standby*

If you switch the TV to standby, this unit will also switch to standby. However, this function only works when the unit is in Stop mode and not when the screen saver is displayed.

This function also does not work during the following: Preset Download, Auto Setup, Auto Clock Setting and Manual Tuning.

5)On-Screen Messages*

When you are watching a TV programme, the following unit messages appear on the TV screen to inform you of the unit’s condition:

PDC

PDC (Programme Delivery Control)

Programme Delivery Control adjusts the start and stop time of a timer recording automatically to ensure the recording starts and finishes in line with the programme broadcast. This is useful when a programme over-runs the published times.

The station must be transmitting PDC and the exact time must be set for PDC to work. The unit detects whether a station is transmitting PDC only during the tuning process.

If PDC is introduced or discontinued by a station you will need to re-tune the unit before it becomes aware of this. PDC transmissions are not currently nation-wide so please check with your local broadcaster for more information. The beginnings of recordings may not be recorded correctly in some cases.

Title/Chapter (DVD-Video)

DVD-Video are divided up into large sections, titles, and smaller sections, chapters. The numbers allocated to these sections are called title numbers and chapter numbers.
