Notes on connecting SMARTLINK and other equipment  
PLEASE NOTE: This product includes new SMARTLINK functions for control of a digital receiver in a  
SMARTLINK system. These functions may not work with existing Sony SMARTLINK products, but are  
designed to work with future Sony SMARTLINK products.  
TV connection for  
SMARTLINK  
If your TV is SMARTLINK compatible, ensure that the cable  
from the TV scart socket of the receiver is connected to the  
scart socket that supports SMARTLINK on your TV. This will  
ensure that you have access to the SMARTLINK features.  
One of these features may enable the receiver to bring the TV  
out of its standby mode automatically when you switch the  
receiver on.  
The best signal quality is achieved using the RGB mode of this  
receiver. However, this may not be available on the  
SMARTLINK compatible scart of your TV.  
Note: When the TV is put into standby mode, the receiver may also go  
into standby.  
If your VCR is SMARTLINK compatible, ensure that the cable  
VCR connection for  
SMARTLINK  
from the VCR scart socket of the receiver is connected to the  
scart socket that supports SMARTLINK on your VCR. This will  
ensure that you have access to the SMARTLINK features and  
will enable the receiver to inform the VCR when to start and  
stop recording timed events and to download the programme  
title to the VCR.  
If your VCR supports synchro recording, ensure that the cable  
VCR connection for  
from the VCR scart socket of the receiver is connected to the  
Synchro record  
scart socket that supports synchro recording on your VCR.  
When you have set a timer event, put your VCR into the  
synchro recording mode (refer to your VCR manual).  
When the VCR is turned On or is in Playback (dependant on  
Receiver/VCR  
connection  
the VCR), the receiver will automatically switch the signals  
through to the TV. This will also be done when the receiver is in  
the standby mode.  
Note: To return to a programme from the receiver, press the l/1 button  
on the remote control to switch off the receiver, then press the  
l/1 button once more to resume normal operation.  
This receiver can be connected to your Hi-Fi using either a  
digital optical lead or a stereo/analogue lead. These can be  
Hi-Fi  
connected to the 3.5mm socket on the rear of the receiver (see  
page 7).  
Please note that the digital optical output is PCM audio only.  
Notes:Not all scart cables are compatible with SMARTLINK.  
Please ensure that you use a fully wired scart cable as supplied.  
SMARTLINK operation may sometimes be referred to as  
MEGALOGIC, NexTView, T-V Link, EASYLINK/cinemaLink, or  
Q-Link. Please refer to your TV/VCR manuals for further  
information.  
In some cases the SMARTLINK functionality may not work as  
described. This may be due to compatibility issues between  
equipment connected in your system. In this case it is  
recommended that you do not use SMARTLINK. For further  
information contact the Sony UK Helpline (see the inside front  
cover of this manual).  
If you wish to use SMARTLINK equipment, please ensure that  
the SMARTLINK option is set to Onin the Picture settings.
