Q---LINK

Q---Link allows the television to communicate with your VCR
Open the Setup menu
Move to Q---Link
Confirm Q---Link is set to "On"
Press the TV/AV button to exit
The VCR must be connected with a SCART lead (full function type) attached between the AV2 socket of the television and the
appropriate socket on your VCR. See the VCR handbook for further information. Q --- Link, NextViewLink or similar technology
allows the television to instruct a compatible VCR to record the programme that is currently being displayed on screen,
regardless of the programme position set on the VCR, thus simplifying the process of recording programmes.
To record the programme you are currently watching
Press the DIRECT TV REC button on the remote control
If the VCR is off, it will automatically switch on when you press the DIRECT TV REC button.
A message, sent from the VCR, will appear on screen showing what is being recorded, or if it is not possible to record:
VCR recording preset prog
VCR recording own tuner
VCR is recording the programme signal from its
own tuner. If you wish you can switch off the TV
and leave the VCR recording in the normal way.

To share tuning information
To ensure correct recordings are made, the television and VCR should share tuning information --- see page 13.
D Whenever the Auto setup (ATP) function is used, tuning data will be downloaded to the VCR.
Auto Power functions
With Panasonic Q---Link VCRs these additional features are available:
D 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.
D If you switch off the television whilst the VCR is in Stop, Fast Forward or Rewind modes, the VCR will switch off automatically.
To turn off Q---Link communication
If you do not wish to use the Q---Link feature, go to the Setup menu and set the Q---Link option to "Off". See page 8.
Important Note:
Not all VCRs support this type of data communication system. Some may support certain features, but not others. See the VCR hand-
book for further information.
If Q---Link is inoperative, first confirm that your SCART lead is a full function type. Ask your dealer for further details.
