This is a Q-Link TV. Q-Link, NEXTVIEWLINK and similar technology provide a way for the set and VCR to
communicate, making it easier to record programmes. In order to be able to exchange information both the set and
the VCR must be fitted with this technology, and must be connected with a SCART lead (full function type) between
the AV2 socket of this set and the appropriate socket on the VCR (see the VCR instruction book for details).
Q-Link lets your set instruct a compatible VCR to record the programme currently shown on screen, no matter
what programme position is set on the VCR.
Press the
DIRECT TV REC
button.
Notes:
• If the VCR is in Stand-by mode, it will automatically switch on when you
press the
DIRECT TV REC
button.
• To ensure correct recordings are made, the set and VCR should share
tuning information (see page 30).
• Whenever the Auto setup function is used, tuning data will be
downloaded to the VCR (see page 31).

Preset Download
This allows the programme order from this set to be downloaded to the VCR, this helps to ensure that correct
recordings are made, there are several ways to perform this operation:
• During installation as explained in the ‘Quick Start Guide’ beginning on page 9.
• When Auto setup is started from within the Tuning menu, see page 31.
• When this set to VCR manual download is started from within ‘Programme edit’, see page 30.

Notes:
• With Panasonic Q-Link VCR’s these additional features are available:
• If you insert a tape in the VCR and press the Play button whilst this set is in ‘Stand-by’ mode, this set will
automatically switch On and select the AV2 input so that you can view the tape.
• When this set is switched into ‘Stand-by’ mode, the VCR will also switch into ‘Stand-by’ mode if there is no tape
in the VCR, or if there is a tape in and the VCR is in ‘Rewind’ or ‘Stop’ mode (if the VCR is rewinding a tape, it will
not switch into ‘Stand-by’ mode until rewinding has finished).
• If this set is in Stand-by mode and the VCR sends a menu to be displayed on this set screen (e.g. Main menu),
this set will automatically switch On and the menu will be displayed.
• Not all VCR’s support this technology. This set will communicate with VCR’s bearing the following logos:

• If Q-Link is inoperative, first confirm that your Scart lead is a full function type. Ask your dealer for further
details.
