Q-Link
Q-Link allows the television to communicate with a compatible VCR or DVD Recorder.
For Q-Link communication to work, the TV must be connected to a recording device with the “Q-Link”, “NEXTVIEWLINK”,
“DATA LOGIC”, “Easy Link”, “Megalogic” or “SMARTLINK” logo using a “fully wired” Scart cable between the AV2 /
AV4 terminal of the television and the appropriate terminal on your VCR or DVD Recorder.
For connection to the appropriate Scart terminal on the recording device, refer to the device’s instruction book.
When using a “NEXTVIEWLINK” device the main features possible are the following :
Preset Download
This allows the programme order from the TV to be downloaded to the recording device, helping to ensure that correct

2. When Auto setup is started from within the Tuning menu. See page 15.
3. Preset download started from the recording device, refer to the device’s instruction book.
Important Note:
Not all recording devices support this type of data communication system. Some may support certain features, but not
others. Refer to the recording device’s instruction book.
If Q-Link is inoperative, first confirm that your Scart cable is a “fully wired” type. Ask your dealer for further details.
The recording device is recording the programme signal
from its own tuner. If you wish you can switch off the TV
