Using the DTV Features

Using the i.LINK Control Panel

zYou can also access the i.LINK Control Panel using the the button on the DTV’s front panel. For details, see page 10.

The i.LINK Control Panel lets you see a list of i.LINK devices that are connected to and communicating with the DTV.

✍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).

1To display the i.LINK Control Panel, press the button.

The i.LINK Control Panel appears, which displays a list of i.LINK devices that are set to Show in the i.LINK Setup menu (page 59).

✍If the i.LINK device is not listed in the i.LINK Control Panel, you need to change the i.LINK Setup option from Hide to Show (see page 59).

DTV is always the first device listed. If other i.LINK devices are connected, they are listed according to their manufacturer’s model name. If there are duplicate models connected, they are also designated a number (1,2,3, etc.). If a device is unknown, it is listed as “Device.”

If no i.LINK devices are connected to the DTV, the message “There are no i.LINK devices available” is displayed.
