Connecting and Setting Up the DTV

Connecting i.LINK Compatible Devices

This DTV is equipped with i.LINK, which provides a secure digital interface to other digital home entertainment devices, including digital cable set-top boxes. i.LINK allows for the secure transfer of copyright-protected high-definition content between these devices and your digital television.

At the time this DTV went to market, the Sony digital cable set-top box (DHG- M55CV) is the only i.LINK device that is verified to be compatible with this DTV.

Some early versions of the Sony digital cable set-top box (DHG-M55CV) may not support an i.LINK digital connection to your DTV. If you have difficulty with the connection between your Sony digital cable set-top box (DHG-M55CV) and your DTV, contact Customer Information Service Center at

1-800-222-SONY(7669). In most cases you can continue to use your set-top box with your DTV, using an analog audio/video connection (as shown on page 26), instead of the i.LINK digital connection (also shown on page 26).

For more information about i.LINK, see “About i.LINK” on page 67.
