Controlling HDMI devices using AQUOS LINK

What is AQUOS LINK?
Using the HDMI CEC (Consumer Electronics Control) protocol, with AQUOS LINK you can
interactively operate compatible system devices (AV amplifier, DVD, Blu-ray Disc device)
using a single remote control.
NOTE
• AQUOS LINK-compatible AQUOS BD Player, AQUOS AUDIO speaker system and AQUOS
Recorder are to be on sale after the release of this TV. (As of September 2007)

What you can do with AQUOS LINK

✔ One Touch Recording (DTV only)

You do not have to search for the remote control of your recording device. Press the REC
E or REC STOP H buttons inside the flip cover to start/stop recording what you see on
the recorder.

✔ 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 operation

The AQUOS LINK automatically recognises the connected HDMI device and you can
control the TV and the devices as if using a universal remote control.

✔ Operating Title list of external devices

In addition to displaying the TV’s own Timer list (Page 12), you can also call up the
external player’s Top menu or AQUOS BD Player’s/AQUOS Recorder’s Title list provided
that the devices support AQUOS LINK.

✔ Multiple control of HDMI devices

You can select which HDMI device to operate using the OPTION button.
NOTE
• Point the remote control toward the TV, not to the connected HDMI device.
• Video noise may occur depending on the type of HDMI cable used. Make sure to use a certified
HDMI cable.
• Up to 3 HDMI recording devices, one AV amplifier and two players can be connected using this
system.
• These operations affect the HDMI device selected as the current external source. If the device
does not operate, turn on the device and select the appropriate external source using b.
• When you insert/remove HDMI cables or change connections, turn on all connected HDMI
devices before turning on the TV. Confirm that picture and audio are correctly output by selecting
“EXT4”, “EXT5” or “EXT6” from the INPUT SOURCE menu.
