on the TV.
✔ One Touch Play
While the TV is in standby mode, it automatically turns on and plays back the image

The AQUOS LINK automatically recognises the connected HDMI device and you can
control the TV and the devices as if using a universal remote control.

external player's Top menu or AQUOS BD Player's Title list provided that the devices
support AQUOS LINK.

You can select which HDMI device to operate using OPTION.
