mode of connected i.LINK devices can be turned
on or off.

automatically recognize the transfer rates of the
pictures and sound being recorded and control the
recording mode accordingly,
you should always
set this Mode to “Pass through” in normal

• Depending on the i.LINK devices used and the type
of broadcast being recorded, this TV may not adjust
the recording mode properly. In this case, please
set the “Recording Mode” to “Pass through”.

“Active”: Power continues to pass through the i.LINK
circuit so data can be relayed.
“Inactive”: Power consumption is minimized during
stand-by mode. Data cannot be relayed at this
setting.
NOTE
• When the main power of the TV is in standby mode
(POWER indicator lights off), i.LINK control commands
cannot be received from an i.LINK device. This does not
change even if the “Standby Mode” is set to “Active”. To
control the TV from an i.LINK device, turn the TV power
on (POWER indicator lights up in blue).
• Data cannot be relayed between i.LINK devices when all
the following conditions are met: 1) More than one i.LINK
device is connected to the TV with i.LINK cables, 2)
“Standby Mode” is set to “Inactive”, and 3) The power of
the TV is in standby mode (POWER indicator lights off).
When the TV is connected between two i.LINK devices in
series, select “Active” in “Standby Mode” or connect the
TV at an end of the series as shown in the diagram.
