compatible system devices (AV amplifi er, DVD player/recorder, Blu-ray player/

buttons inside the fl ip cover to start/stop recording
what you see on the recorder.

One Touch Play
While the TV is in standby mode, it will automatically turn on and play back the

Single remote control operation
AQUOS LINK automatically recognises the connected HDMI devices and you can
control the TV and the devices as if using a universal remote control unit.

Operating Title list of external devices
In addition to displaying the TV’s own Timer list (Pages 45 and 46), you can also
call up the external player’s Top menu or AQUOS BD Player’s/AQUOS Recorder’s
Title list provided that the devices support AQUOS LINK.
