AV-Link Function of this VCR 

(SV-657GX Only)

If your TV has “Easy Link / nexTViewLink / AV-Link” function, the VCR can automatically store stations
memorized in the TV in the same channel position as those of the TV. 
Using a SCART cable (21 pins), a mutual control is available with the TV, VCR, SAT receiver, etc. 

The VCR automatically stores all your current TV stations in the VCR in the same position order as the 
TV  channels. (“TV CH DOWNLOAD”)

Even if the TV is in standby mode, the TV automatically turns on and displays the video picture when 
you start playback on the VCR. 

The VCR automatically selects the same picture as you are watching on the TV, and record it. (“TV 
PICTURE”)

The VCR takes in the data and turns to timer standby mode, after a program data reserved is 
transferred to the VCR by a TV using such as a EPG (Electronic Program Guide). In this case, the TV’s 
and the VCR’s channel position must be set to the same TV station. The position could be stored from 
1 to 80. Also the VCR’s clock must be set.

Connection

Connect your EasyLink / nexTViewLink  / AV-Link TV to the AV1 (EURO AV) socket on the rear of the VCR using the 
SCART cable. Refer to your TV’s manual additionally.
