Q Link
This function works only if the unit is connected via a fully wired 21-
pin Scart lead to a TV featuring the Q Link or similar function.
Q Link offers the following functions:
≥Download from the TV
§
When you connect the unit to a TV, the station list data is
automatically copied from the TV to the unit, and the TV stations
are assigned to the programme positions on the unit in the same
order as on the TV.
≥Direct TV Recording
By simply pressing [¥ DIRECT TV REC], you can at once record
the same programme that you are watching on the TV.
≥TV/DVD Auto On
§
Even if the TV and the unit are off (standby mode), pressing
[1] (PLAY), [DIRECT NAVIGATOR, TOP MENU], [VIDEO Plus+]
or [PROG/CHECK] automatically turns on both the TV and the unit.
If the TV is off (standby mode) and the unit is on, when you press
[FUNCTIONS] or [1] (PLAY), or insert the disc (except DVD-RAM
and DVD-R), the TV automatically is turned on.
≥DVD Auto Standby §
When you turn the TV off, the unit is turned off as well. However,
this function works in the stop mode.
This function does not work during the following operations: Preset
Download, Auto-Setup, Auto Clock Setting and Manual Tuning.
This function does also not work when the DVD drive selected and
an audio CD is in the disc tray.
PDC (Programme Delivery Control)
Programme Delivery Control adjusts the start and stop time of a timer recording automatically to ensure the recording starts and finishes in line
with the programme broadcast. This is useful when a programme over-runs the published times.
The station must be transmitting PDC and the exact time must be set for PDC to work.
The unit detects whether a station is transmitting PDC only during the tuning process.
If PDC is introduced or discontinued by a station you will need to re-tune the unit before it becomes aware of this.
PDC transmissions are not currently nation-wide so please check with your local broadcaster for more information.
The beginnings of recordings may not be recorded correctly in some cases.
≥On-Screen Messages §
When you are watching a TV programme, the following messages
appear on the TV screen to inform you of the unit's condition:
