Q Link (This function is not available unless you connect TV
and this unit with the 21-pin Scart cable.)
This function works only if the unit is connected via a fully-wired 21-
pin Scart cable to a TV featuring the Q Link or similar function.
Q Link offers the following functions:
1) Download from the TV°
When you connect the unit to a TV, the station list data is
automatically copied from the TV to the unit, and the TV stations
are assigned to the programme positions on the unit in the same
order as on the TV.
2) Direct TV Recording
By simply pressing [¥, DIRECT TV REC], you can at once
record the same programme that you are watching.
3) TV/DVD Video Recorder Auto Power On°
Even if the TV and the unit are off (standby mode), pressing
[1, PLAY], [TOP MENU, DIRECT NAVIGATOR], [G-Code] or
[PROG/CHECK] automatically turns on both the TV and the unit.
If the TV is off and the unit is on, when you press the
[FUNCTIONS] or the [1, PLAY], or insert the disc (except
DVD-RAM and DVD-R), the TV automatically is turned on.
4) DVD Video Recorder Auto Power Off°
When you turn the TV off, the unit is also turned off. However,
this function works in the stop mode.
This function does not work during the following operations:
Preset Download, Auto Setup, Auto Clock Setting and Manual
Tuning.
This function does also not work when an audio CD is in the disc
tray.
° The operations marked with asterisk are only available if the unit is
connected to a TV featuring the Q Link function.
Note
≥If “Power Save” is set to “On” (l 43), the Q Link functions do not
work when the unit is switched off (standby mode).
VPS/PDC (This function is not available in Australia.)
VPS (Video Programme System)/
PDC (Programme Delivery Control)
VPS or PDC is a very convenient system which records exactly from
beginning to end of the TV programmes set in timer recording, even
if the actual broadcasting time differs from the scheduled time due to
delayed start or extension of the programme duration. Also, if a
programme is interrupted, for example, some special news is
inserted, the recording will be paused automatically and resumed
when the programme continues.
Depending on the signals sent from the TV stations, the VPS/PDC
system may not work properly even when “VPS/PDC” has been set
to “ON”.
Please check with the broadcasters in your area for details.
≥In the case of VPS/PDC recording, use the correct time (VPS/PDC
time) for recording the TV programmes.
Set “VPS/PDC” to “OFF” when the recording time is not the correct
time (VPS/PDC time).
VPS/PDC recording is not performed when the time (VPS/PDC
time) is incorrect, even if only by 1 minute. To find out the correct
time (VPS/PDC time), consult Teletext, a newspaper or magazine,
or other source.
≥If the actual broadcasting times of timer recordings overlap
(regardless of whether they are VPS/PDC controlled), the
recording that starts first always has priority, and the recording of
the later programme will start only after the first timer recording has
finished.
≥When the VPS/PDC signal drops out because the broadcast signal
is weak, or when a TV station does not transmit a regular VPS/PDC
signal, the timer recording will be performed in the normal mode
(without VPS/PDC) even if it was programmed for VPS/PDC.
In this case, even if the timer recording is performed, whatever has
been programmed will not be cancelled at that particular time but at
4 a.m. the day after tomorrow.
≥The start times of scheduled programmes listed in the newspaper
or magazine may be changed at a later date. Set “VPS/PDC” to
“OFF” when programming a programme whose start time has been
subsequently changed. Particular care must be taken in this
respect with G
-CODE programming since “VPS/PDC” is
automatically set to “ON” in some countries.
≥If a programme listed in a newspaper or magazine has two G
-CODE
numbers, use the G
-CODE number for VPS/PDC if you wish to
proceed with VPS/PDC recording using G
-CODE programming.
≥The default settings for “VPS/PDC” differ depending on the country
concerned.
≥If the broadcasting station is not transmitting VPS/PDC signals,
“jjj” appears in the menu for timer programming under “VPS/
PDC”.
≥The beginnings of recordings may not be recorded correctly in
some cases.
