The HDMI connections (High Definition Multimedia 
Interface) permit digital video and audio transmission 
via a connection cable from a player/recorder. The 
digital picture and sound data are transmitted without 
data compression and therefore lose none of their 
quality. Analogue/digital conversion is no longer 
necessary in the connected devices, which also would 
result in quality losses.

DVI/HDMI conversion
Using an DVI/HDMI adapter cable, the digital video 
signals of a DVD can also be played via the compatible 
HDMI connection. The sound must be fed in 
additionally.

Both HDMI and DVI use the same HDCP copy 
protection method.

NOTE
•  If a connected HDMI device is AQUOS LINK compatible, you 

•  Video noise may occur depending on the type of HDMI 

cable used. Make sure to use certified HDMI cable.

•  When playing the HDMI image, the best possible format for 

the picture will be detected and set automatically.

Supported video signal:
576i, 576p, 480i, 480p, 1080i, 720p, 1080p
See page 36 for PC signal compatibility.

You will enjoy accurate colour reproduction and 
high quality images through the EXT 8 terminal 
when connecting a DVD recorder or other recording

If your VCR supports TV-VCR advanced AV Link 
systems, you can connect the VCR using a fully wired 
SCART cable.

This TV incorporates four typical AV Link functions for smooth connections between the TV and other audiovisual 
equipment.

One Touch Play
While the TV is in standby mode, it automatically turns on and plays back the image from the audiovisual source 
(e.g. VCR, DVD).

TV Standby
When the TV enters standby mode, the connected audiovisual equipment (e.g. VCR, DVD) enters standby mode 
as well.

WYSIWYR (What You See Is What You Record)
When the remote control unit of the connected VCR has the WYSIWYR button, you can automatically start 
recording by pressing the WYSIWYR button.

Preset Download
Automatically transfers the channel preset information from the tuner on the TV to the one on the connected 
audiovisual equipment (e.g. VCR) via the EXT 2 terminal.

NOTE
•  Refer to the operation manuals of external equipment the details.
•  Only works when the audiovisual equipment is connected to the EXT 2 terminal on the TV with AV Link via a fully wired 

SCART.

•  The use of the AV Link function is only possible if the TV-set has enforced a complete auto installation with the connected 

audiovisual equipment. (Page 9, initial auto installation)

  The availability of the AV Link function depends on the audiovisual equipment used. Depending on the manufacturer and type 

of equipment used, it is possible that the described functions may be completely or partially unusable.

E VCR E DVD recorder

NOTE
•  In cases when the decoder needs to receive a signal from the TV, make sure to select the appropriate input terminal to which 

the decoder is connected in “Manual adjust” in the “Analogue Setting” menu. (Page 27)

•  TV-VCR advanced AV Link systems may not be compatible with some external sources.
•  Do not connect the decoder to the EXT2 terminal.
•  You cannot connect the VCR with Decoder using a fully wired SCART cable when selecting “Y/C” under the EXT2 in the
