Useful and important notification
Useful information
• D-VHS recorders connected through i.LINK can play
back digital TV programs recorded using this system.
• D-VHS recorders connected through i.LINK can
record only digital TV programs. Using i.LINK, those
recorders cannot record conventional TV channels
nor contents coming from external input sources.
• This system can be simultaneously connected with
up to two D-VHS recorders that support i.LINK. You
can control one of these D-VHS recorders (basic
functions only).
• Some D-VHS recorders connected through i.LINK
may not allow this system to control through the
control panel screen or to display images and output
sound.
• To record digital TV programs using connected D-VHS
recorders, use D-VHS tape. You cannot use VHS tape
nor S-VHS tape.
• Some D-VHS recorders connected though i.LINK may
not allow this system to play back images and sound
recorded on VHS tape, S-VHS tape, or (if with analog
signals) D-VHS tape. If this is the case, connect the
analog output terminals on the D-VHS recorder to
INPUT 1, 2, 3, or 4 terminals on this system. See
pages 65 to 67.
• This system supports the Digital Transmission Con-
tent Protection (DTCP) technology. The DTCP is a
copy protection technology that presents data coding
and device authentification.
• i.LINK may not allow copy-restricted video, audio, and
other data to be copied from one i.LINK device to
another. It also may not allow video, audio, and other
data to be transferred with equipment that does not
support the DTCP.
Precautions
• While one D-VHS recorder connected through i.LINK
is recording or playing back, do not switch on or off
the other connected D-VHS recorder (not in use) or
do not connect or disconnect the i.LINK cable from
that D-VHS recorder. Doing so can result in image
and sound interruption.
• Some D-VHS recorders that support i.LINK cannot
relay data when their power is off. Check the user’s
manual for your D-VHS recorder. This system allows
you to change the setting for data relay in the standby
mode. See “Setting up for i.LINK standby” on page
76.
