Controlling HDMI devices using AQUOS LINK

What is AQUOS LINK?
Using the HDMI CEC (Consumer Electronics Control) protocol, with AQUOS LINK you
can interactively operate compatible system devices (AV amplifi er, DVD, Blu-ray Disc
device) .
By connecting AQUOS LINK-compatible devices with HDMI-certifi ed cables to the TV,
you can control a recorder or AV amplifi er using the remote control of the TV.
AQUOS LINK allows you to operate the HDMI-connected equipment with one remote
control.
NOTE
• Please check the availability of AQUOS LINK compatible AQUOS BD Players and AQUOS
LINK compatible audio systems in your country.
What you can do with AQUOS LINK

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.
