This TV incorporates three 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).
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 operation manuals of each external equipment
for 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 8, 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.
