AQUOS LINK
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 amplifier, DVD, Blu-ray Disc
device).
By connecting AQUOS LINK-compatible devices with HDMI-certified cables to the TV,
you can control a recorder or AV amplifier using the remote control of the TV.
AQUOS LINK allows you to operate the HDMI-connected equipment with one remote
control.

NOTE
A-TV D-TV RADIO FAV.
• Please check the availability of AQUOS LINK-compatible AQUOS BD Players and AQUOS
LINK-compatible audio systems via the sole agent in your country.

What you can do with AQUOS LINK

You do not have to search for the remote control of your recording device. Press the
REC E or REC STOP H inside the flip cover to start/stop recording what you see
on the TV.
✔ One Touch Play
While the TV is in standby mode, it automatically turns on and plays back the image
from the HDMI source.
✔ Single remote control operation
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.
✔ Operating Title list of external devices
You can also call up the external player’s Top menu or AQUOS BD Player’s Title list
provided that the devices support AQUOS LINK.
✔ Multiple control of HDMI devices
You can select which HDMI device to operate using OPTION.
✔ Controlling the AQUOS LINK-compatible audio system
You can adjust the volume and select the sound mode of the AQUOS LINK-

• Video noise may occur depending on the type of HDMI-certified cable used. Make sure to use
a HDMI-certified cable.
• Up to 3 pieces of HDMI recording equipment and one AV amplifier can be connected using
this system.
• These operations affect the HDMI device selected as the current input source. If the device
does not operate, turn on the device and select the appropriate input source using TV/VIDEO.
• When you insert/remove HDMI-certified cables or change connections, turn on all connected
HDMI devices before turning on the TV. Confirm that picture and audio are correctly output by

Cautions regarding use in high and low temperature environments


• When the unit is used in a low temperature space (e.g. room, office), the picture may leave trails or appear slightly delayed.
This is not a malfunction, and the unit will recover when the temperature returns to normal.
• Do not leave the unit in a hot or cold location. Also, do not leave the unit in a location exposed to direct sunlight or near a
heater, as this may cause the cabinet to deform and the LCD panel to malfunction.
Storage temperature: f20°C to e60°C.
