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 amplifi er, DVD, Blu-ray Disc device) using a single remote control.

NOTE

• AQUOS LINK-compatible AQUOS BD Player, AQUOS Audio speaker system and AQUOS Recorder will be on sale after the release of this TV. (As of May 2007)

What you can do with AQUOS LINK

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 device

You can call up the external player’s Top Menu or the external 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 connected HDMI device.

Video noise may occur depending on the type of HDMI cable used. Make sure to use a certifi ed HDMI cable.

Up to 3 HDMI recording devices, one AV amplifi er and two players can be connected using this system.

These operations affect the HDMI device selected as the current input source. If the device does not operate, turn on the device and select the appropriate input source using b.

Connecting HDMI device to TV

First connect the AQUOS Audio speaker system or an AQUOS BD Player that supports HDMI CEC protocol.

NOTE

Refer to the operation manual of the device to be connected for further details.

After unplugging connection cables or changing the connection pattern, fi rst turn on the power of the TV with all relevant device’s power turned on. Change the external input source by pressing b, select the appropriate external source and verify the audiovisual output.
