Using external equipment

Setting the Recording Mode (i.LINK)

•The function for automatically adjusting the recording mode of connected i.LINK devices can be turned on or off.

•Since most of the currently available i.LINK devices automatically recognize the transfer rates of the pictures and sound being recorded and control the recording mode accordingly, you should always set this Mode to “Pass through” in normal circumstances.

•Depending on the i.LINK devices used and the type of broadcast being recorded, this TV may not adjust the recording mode properly. In this case, please set the “Recording Mode” to “Pass through”.

Setting the Standby Mode (i.LINK)

•Power consumption during standby mode can be minimized by changing the setting of the “Standby Mode” in “i.LINK Setup”.

•When i.LINK is not in use, select “Inactive” in “Standby Mode”.

NOTE

•When the main power of the TV is in standby mode (POWER indicator lights off), i.LINK control commands cannot be received from an i.LINK device. This does not change even if the “Standby Mode” is set to “Active”. To control the TV from an i.LINK device, turn the TV power on (POWER indicator lights up in blue).

•Data cannot be relayed between i.LINK devices when all the following conditions are met: 1) More than one i.LINK device is connected to the TV with i.LINK cables, 2) “Standby Mode” is set to “Inactive”, and 3) The power of the TV is in standby mode (POWER indicator lights off). When the TV is connected between two i.LINK devices in series, select “Active” in “Standby Mode” or connect the TV at an end of the series as shown in the diagram.
