The power consumption of the connected equipment
in Standby mode is controlled higher or lower in
synchronisation with the TV on / off state to reduce the
consumption.
When the TV is set to Standby mode, the connected
equipment is automatically set to Standby and the power
consumption of the connected equipment is automatically
minimised.
When the TV is turned on, the connected equipment
is still in Standby mode, but the power consumption is
increased to make startup time fast.
This function is effective if the connected equipment
can change the power consumption in Standby mode
and is set to higher consumption.
This function works when [Power off Link] is set to [On].

This function may not work properly depending on the
connected equipment. If required, set to [Off].
