Using external equipment Connecting D-VHS Decks (i.LINK connection) About i.LINK Connecting two or more D-VHS decks Up to 16 D-VHS decks can be connected using a daisy-chain connection with i.LINK cables. 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 IEEE 1394 (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. Only D-VHS decks can be connected to this TV. 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. When 3 or more D-VHS decks are connected, branch connection can be used. With branch connections, up to 62 D-VHS decks can be connected. Materials that can be recorded with the i.LINK Only digital programs can be recorded by D-VHS decks connected to this TV using the i.LINK. i.LINK recording is not compatible with ground-wave broadcasts or external input signals (INPUT terminals 1 through 5). i.LINK connection E.g. When only one D-VHS deck is connected: 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. D-VHS deck 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. This TV can relay data during power off, by selecting "Yes" in the "Stand-by Mode" option in "i.LINK setup". (See Page 57.) • Please do NOT use a loop connection as shown in the diagram.
