Setup Menu - Q-Link
Q-Link allows the television to communicate with a compatible VCR.
For Q-Link communication to work, the TV must be connected to a “Q-Link” compatible VCR using a “fully
wired” Scart cable between the AV2 socket of the television and the appropriate socket on your VCR.
For connection to the appropriate Scart socket on the VCR, refer to your VCR operating instruction book.
In order to make use of Q-Link, ensure that the Q-Link option is set to On in the SETUP menu:
Press the SETUP menu button
Move to Q-Link option
Confirm Q-Link option is set to On
Press the TV/AV button at any time to
go back to watching TV.
Press the DIRECT TV REC button
Notes:
If the VCR is off, it will automatically switch on when you press the DIRECT TV REC button.
To ensure correct recordings are made, the television and VCR should share tuning information.
Whenever the Auto setup function is used, tuning data will be downloaded to the VCR.
If at any time you wish to turn off the Q -Link feature, follow the above procedure to get to the Q-Link menu
option, then set the option to Off.
A message, sent from the VCR, will appear on screen showing what is being recorded, or if it is not possible to
record.
Notes:
With Panasonic Q-Link VCRs these additional features are available:
If you insert a tape in your VCR and press the Play button, the television will automatically switch on
and select the AV2 input so you can view the tape.
If you switch off the television whilst the VCR is in Stop, Fast Forward or Rewind modes, the VCR will
switch off automatically.
If Q-Link is inoperative, first confirm that your SCART lead is a full function type. Ask your dealer for further
details.
