HDMI devices

Controlling HDMI devices using

HDMI CEC

E What is HDMI CEC?

Using the HDMI CEC protocol, you can interactively operate compatible system devices (AV amplifier, DVD player/recorder, Blu-ray player/recorder) using a single remote control unit.

NOTE

• HDMI CEC does not work while using USB REC functions.

E What you can do with HDMI CEC

One touch recording (DTV/SAT only)

You do not have to search for the remote control unit of your recording device. Select Record or Record Stop option to start/stop recording what you see on the recorder.

One touch play

When the TV is in standby mode, it will automatically turn on and play back the image from the HDMI source.

Single remote control operation

HDMI CEC automatically recognises connected HDMI devices and you can control the TV and the devices as if using an universal remote control unit.

Operating title list of external devices

In addition to displaying the TV’s own timer list (Page 35), you can also call up the external player’s top menu or player’s / recorder’s title list provided that the devices support HDMI CEC.

Multiple control of HDMI devices

You can select which HDMI device to operate using the “Device List” menu.

NOTE

•When you use HDMI CEC, make sure to use a certified HDMI cable.

•Point the remote control unit 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 three HDMI recording devices, one AV amplifier and three 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 displayed/output by selecting “HDMI 1”, “HDMI 2”, “HDMI 3” or “HDMI 4” from the “INPUT” menu.
