Using external equipment Connecting D-VHS decks/AV-HDD recorder/Blu-ray Disc recorder (i.LINK connection) Connecting two or more i.LINK devices Up to 16 i.LINK devices can be connected using a daisy-chain connection with i.LINK cables. About i.LINK i.LINK is an 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 i.LINK 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 of them expressed as S100, S200 and S400 respectively. On this TV, the maximum speed is 400 Mbps. i. LINK devices that can be connected to this TV. 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. Only D-VHS decks, AV-HDD recorders and Blu-ray Disc recorders can be connected to this TV via i.LINK. Other devices such as DVD recorders, digital video cameras, 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 external input signals (INPUT terminals 1 through 5). Cautions regarding i.LINK connection • Please use S400 type i.LINK cables. • Some i.LINK devices may not relay data if their power is off. In this case the device should be connected at the end of any series of connections. • This TV can relay data during power off, by selecting "Active" in the "Standby Mode" option in "i.LINK Setup". (See Page 59.) • Please do NOT use a loop connection as shown in the diagram. i.LINK connection NOTE • Please make sure the shapes of the terminal and the plug match, and insert the plug into the terminal straight, not on an angle. • Use either one of the terminals. These two terminals do not differ in quality or function. i.LINK device Only an i.LINK cable is needed to connect the TV to i.LINK devices. (VIDEO, S-VIDEO, and AUDIO terminals need not be connected.) • When using the i.LINK, do not turn off the power of, or pull the cable from i.LINK devices, even if that i.LINK devices is not in use. This may affect the picture and the sound from an i.LINK device in use. • If devices such as a DVD recorders, digital video cameras, computers and computer peripheral devices which are not compatible with this TV, are connected to the TV using i.LINK, other i.LINK connections may be disrupted. • When device recognition, control, recording or play back, on an i.LINK connected device does not function correctly, correct operation may be restored by disconnecting and reconnecting the i.LINK cable. • When connecting multiple i.LINK devices, depending on the specifications and the interoperability of the connected devices, their operation may not be stable. In that case, disconnecting all devices not in use and changing the method of connection may result in stable operation. 58
