Using the Remote Control
Using the Remote Control 41
■ IEEE1394 is the IEEE’s international standard.
■ A copy protection technology is used on i.LINK
devices that incorporate copyright protection. This
technology has received the approval of the
Digital Transmission Licensing Administrator
(DTLA), an organization that administers copyright
protection technologies. Some picture and sound
data have restrictions on duplication. Such data
cannot be digitally copied using the i.LINK. Some
picture and sound data may not be able to be sent
back and forth between an i.LINK device that has
DTLA copyright protection technology and one
that does not.
Notes on i.LINK connection of D-VHS
deck, AV-HDD recorder, or Blu-ray Disc
recorder
■ Even when a connected i.LINK device is playing,
input signal can be switched to input mode other
than i.LINK by shifting the cursor to the input
selection button and pressing Select.
■ This TV may not be able to operate some i.LINK
devices using the control panel, or to display
picture and/or sound input from some i.LINK
devices.
■ When the TV’s control panel is used to record a
program, what is recorded with the i.LINK device
are the pictures and sound of the digital program
that the TV is receiving.
■ The i.LINK control panel cannot be used during
timer recording.
■ There may be some programs which i.LINK
devices cannot record.
■ With some i.LINK devices, the quality of the
picture may be distorted during fast-forwarding or
rewinding.
Notes on i.LINK connection of D-VHS
deck
■ Depending on the D-VHS deck, this TV’s i.LINK
may not allow viewing of VHS and S-VHS tape or
analog recorded D-VHS tape. In this case, connect
the D-VHS deck’s analog output with the TV’s
analog input, and switch the TV’s input mode to
external input.
■ If a D-VHS deck is operated with the TV’s control
panel during timer recording, the recording may
fail. Do not use the TV’s control panel to operate
the D-VHS deck during timer recording.
■ To record the picture and sound of a digital
program which the TV is receiving, use D-VHS
tape. VHS or S-VHS tape will not record.
Notes on i.LINK connection of AV-HDD
recorder or Blu-ray Disc recorder
■ Depending on the AV-HDD recorder or Blu-ray
Disc recorder, some functions, such as playback
during recording, display of the recording list
screen during recording, and so on, may not be
able to be operated.
■ Depending on the AV-HDD recorder or Blu-ray
Disc recorder, playback may stop automatically
when switching to another i.LINK device.
■ If an AV-HDD recorder or Blu-ray Disc recorder is
operated with the TV’s control panel during timer
recording, the recording may fail. Do not use the
TV’s control panel to operate the AV-HDD recorder
or Blu-ray Disc recorder during timer recording.
Notes on i.LINK connection of AV-HDD
recorder
■ Depending on the AV-HDD recorder, it may be
possible to change the recorder’s operations
mode (D-VHS mode, HDD recorder mode). When
the operations mode is D-VHS mode, the HDD
recorder is recognized as a D-VHS deck.
Automatic input switching to
i.LINK
Input mode can be set to automatically switch to i.LINK
when an i.LINK device connected to the TV is played.
