NOTE
• Even when a connected D-VHS deck is playing, input
signal can be switched to digital broadcasting by shifting
the cursor to the input selection button and pressing
ENTER.
• This TV may not be able to operate some D-VHS decks
using the control panel, or to display picture and/or sound
input from some D-VHS decks.
• Depending on the D-VHS deck, this TV’s i.LINK may not
allow viewing of VHS and S-VHS tape or analog recorded
D-VHS tape. In this case, connect the D-VHS deck’s
analog output with the TV’s analog input, and switch the
TV’s input mode to external input.
• If a D-VHS deck is operated with the TV’s control panel
during timer recording, the recording may fail. Do not use
the TV’s control panel to operate the D-VHS deck during
timer recording.
• When the TV’s control panel is used to record a program,
what is recorded with the D-VHS deck are the pictures
and sound of the digital program that the TV is receiving.
• To record the picture and sound of a digital program which
the TV is receiving, use D-VHS tape. VHS or S-VHS tape
will not record.
• The i.LINK control panel cannot be used during timer
recording.
• There may be some programs which D-VHS decks cannot
record.
• With some D-VHS decks, the quality of the picture may
be distorted during fast forwarding or rewinding.
• IEEE 1394 is the IEEE’s international standard.
• i.LINK and the i.LINK logo are registered trademarks of
Sony Electronic, Inc.
• A copy protection technology is used on D-VHS decks
that incorporate copyright protection. This technology has
received the approval of the Digital Transmission Licensing
Administrator (DTLA), an organization that administers
copyright protection technologies. Some picture and
sound data have restrictions on duplication. Such data
cannot be digitally copied using the i.LINK. Some picture
and sound data may not be able to be sent back and
forth between a D-VHS deck that has DTLA copyright
protection technology and one that does not.
