Notes on connecting SMARTLINK and other equipment

PLEASE NOTE: This product includes new SMARTLINK functions for control of a digital receiver in a
SMARTLINK system. These functions may not work with existing Sony SMARTLINK products, but are
designed to work with future Sony SMARTLINK products.

If your TV is SMARTLINK compatible, ensure that the cable
from the TV scart socket of the receiver is connected to the
scart socket that supports SMARTLINK on your TV. This will
ensure that you have access to the SMARTLINK features.
One of these features may enable the receiver to bring the TV
out of its standby mode automatically when you switch the
receiver on.
The best signal quality is achieved using the RGB mode of this
receiver. However, this may not be available on the
SMARTLINK compatible scart of your TV.
Note: When the TV is put into standby mode, the receiver may also go
into standby.
If your VCR is SMARTLINK compatible, ensure that the cable
from the VCR scart socket of the receiver is connected to the
scart socket that supports SMARTLINK on your VCR. This will
ensure that you have access to the SMARTLINK features and
will enable the receiver to inform the VCR when to start and
stop recording timed events and to download the programme
title to the VCR.
If your VCR supports synchro recording, ensure that the cable
from the VCR scart socket of the receiver is connected to the
scart socket that supports synchro recording on your VCR.
When you have set a timer event, put your VCR into the
synchro recording mode (refer to your VCR manual).
When the VCR is turned On or is in Playback (dependant on
the VCR), the receiver will automatically switch the signals
through to the TV. This will also be done when the receiver is in
the standby mode.
Note: To return to a programme from the receiver, press the l/1 button
on the remote control to switch off the receiver, then press the
l/1 button once more to resume normal operation.
This receiver can be connected to your Hi-Fi using either a
digital optical lead or a stereo/analogue lead. These can be
connected to the 3.5mm socket on the rear of the receiver (see
page 7).
Please note that the digital optical output is PCM audio only.
Notes:Not all scart cables are compatible with SMARTLINK.
Please ensure that you use a fully wired scart cable as supplied.
SMARTLINK operation may sometimes be referred to as
MEGALOGIC, NexTView, T-V Link, EASYLINK/cinemaLink, or
Q-Link. Please refer to your TV/VCR manuals for further
information.
In some cases the SMARTLINK functionality may not work as
described. This may be due to compatibility issues between
equipment connected in your system. In this case it is
recommended that you do not use SMARTLINK. For further
information contact the Sony UK Helpline (see the inside front
cover of this manual).
If you wish to use SMARTLINK equipment, please ensure that
the SMARTLINK option is set to 'On' in the Picture settings.
