Using external equipment

Up to 16 i.LINK devices can be connected using a
daisy-chain connection with i.LINK cables.

Cautions regarding i.LINK connection

• Please use

S400

type i.LINK cables.

•

Some

LLINK devices

may

not

relay

data

if their

power

is off.

In

this case the device shouldbeconnected at the end

of

any seriesofconnections.

• This

"TV

can relay data during

power

off, by selecting "Active"

in

the

"Standby

Mode"

optionin"i.LINK Setup". (See page

35.)

• Please

do

NOT

use a

loop

connection as

showninthe

diagram.

When 3 or more i.LINK devices are connected, branch
connection can be used. With branch connections, up
to 62 i.LINK devices can be connected.

• When any devices are playingorrecording via LLINK,

do

not

turn off the

power

of,ordisconnect the cable from

any

of

the LLINK devices, even if oneormoreofthe LLINK

devices are

notinuse. Doing so may affect the picture and

the sound from an LLINK device

in

use.

• If devices such as DVD recorders, non-HDV camcorders,
computers

and

computer

peripheral devices that are

not

compatible with this

"TV

are connectedtothe TV using

i.LINK, other LLINK connections may be disrupted.

• If device recognition, control, recording

or

play back, on

an LLINK

connected

device does

not

function correctly,

correct operation

may

be restoredbydisconnecting and

reconnecting the i.LINK cable.

• When connecting multiple LLINK devices, depending on
the specifications and the interoperability

of

the

connected

devices, their operation

may

not

be stable.Inthat case,

disconnecting

all

devices

notinuse and changing the

methodofconnection

may

resultinstable operation.

interface connection using a serial transfer

system and

is

able to transfer multimedia data, such

as

digital images and digital sound, between devices

that have LLINK terminals. i.LINK

is

a term defined

in
the IEEE1394 (Institute of Electrical and Electronics
Engineers) standard. Currently, the transfer speeds are
at 100 Mbps, 200 Mbps and 400 Mbps, each ofthem
expressed as 8100,

8200

and

8400

respectively. On

this

TV,

the maximum speedis400 Mbps.

i.

LINK devices that can be connected to this TV

D-VH8 decks, AV-HDD recorders, Blu-ray Disc
recorders, HDV camcorders, 8TBs and TVs can be
connected to this TV via i.LINK. Other devices such
as

DVD

recorders, non-HDV camcorders, computers

or computer peripheral devices

do

not meet the
specifications for this TV and therefore cannot be
connected via i.LINK.

Even

for the types of i.LINK
device mentioned above, device recognition, control,
recording and playback operations may not be possible
on

some devices.

Materials that can be recorded with the i.LINK

Only digital programs can be recorded by i.LINK
devices connected to this TV using the i.LINK. i.LINK
recording

is

not compatible with analog broadcasts or

program provider.

Digital Closed Caption service

is

a new caption service
available only on digital1V programs (also at the
discretion ofthe service provider).

Itisa more flexible
system than the original Closed Caption system,
because it allows for a variety of caption sizes and font
styles. When the Digital Closed Caption service

is

in
use,itwill be indicated by the appearanceofa 3-letter
abbreviation that also indicates the language of the
Digital Closed Captions:

ENG

(English), SPA (Spanish),

FRA

(French) or other language codes.

Not

all

programs and VHS videotapes offer closed

captions. Please look for the

"~"

symboltoensure

that captions will be shown.
In

the Closed Caption system, there can be more than

one caption service provided. Each

is

identified by its

own number. The

"CC1

subtitles of

1V

programs superimposed over the

program's picture.
In

the Closed Caption system, the "Text1"or"Text2"

services display text that

Canadian Rating Systems

• The1Vrating systemsinCanada are based on the Canadian Radio-Television and Telecommunications

as

the preferred, acceptable, or only
way to resolve conflict; nor encourage children to imitate dangerous acts which they may see on
the screen.

Age G

General: Considered acceptable for

all

age groups. Appropriate viewing for the entire family,

contains very little violence, physical, verbaloremotional.

PG

is

one of the dominant elements ofthe
