Connecting AV COMPU
LINK Supported Devices
AV COMPU LINK remote control system is a
system in which related devices are
automatically controlled when you operate
one device.
If you apply this system to the TV, you can
have the TV automatically perform the
required operations by operating one
external device. You don't have to use the
TV's remoto control to turn on the TV or
change the VIDEO modes.
Examples of the AV
COMPU LINK remote
control system operations
Simply by pressing the PLAY button on a
VCR or a DVD player, you can view images
from the device.
Simply by inserting a pre-recorded tape (a
tape with the record safety tab removed) to a
VCR, you can view the tape.
Simply by operating the AV Control Rece-
iver, you can have the TV turned on/off (in
standby mode) or the VIDEO mode changed
correctly.
• The performance of the AC COMPU
LINK remote control system varies
depending on the connected device.
See the device’s instruction manual.
• When you select "TV SOUND" as the
input source with the AV Control
Receiver, there are cases where the TV's
MUTING function automatically operates
and the sound from the TV's speakers is
muted.
In such cases, press the VOLUME-/+
buttons or the MUTING button on the
TV's remote control to cancel the MUT-
ING function. You can regain the sound
from the TV's speakers.
