AV COMPU LINK remote control system is 
a system in which related devices are 
automatically controlled when you operate 
one device.
If you apply this system to the TV, you can 
have the TV automatically perform the 
required operations by operating one external 
device. You don’t have to use the TV’s 
remote control to turn on the TV or change 
the VIDEO modes.
Examples of the AV COMPU LINK 
remote control system operations
Simply by pressing the PLAY button on a 
VCR or a DVD player, you can view images 
from the device.
Simply by inserting a prerecorded tape (a 
tape with the record safety tab removed) to a 
VCR, you can view the tape.
Simply by operating the AV Control 
Receiver, you can have the TV turned on/off 
(in standby mode) or the VIDEO mode 
changed correctly.
• The performance of the AV COMPU 
LINK remote control system varies 
depending on the connected device. See 
the device’s instruction manual.
• When you select “TV SOUND” as the 
input source with the AV Control 
Receiver, there are cases where the TV’s 
muting function automatically operates 
and the sound from the TV’s speakers is 
muted.
In such cases, press the 7 q 
buttons or the l (muting) button on the 
TV’s remote control to cancel the muting 
function. You can regain the sound from 
the TV’s speakers.Conditions to use the AV COMPU 
LINK remote control system
• A device equipped with an AV COMPU 
LINK terminal is required.
• You must connect the TV and the device 
with an AV COMPU LINK cable. AV 
COMPU LINK cable is not supplied with 
this TV. If an AV COMPU LINK cable is 
unavailable, connect them with a cable 
with dia. 3.5 mm (mono) male plugs at 
both ends.
• You must connect the device to an 
appropriate VIDEO terminal and set it up 
correctly. Otherwise the AV COMPU 
LINK remote control system will not 
function correctly. For details, see 
“Setting up the AV COMPU LINK 
remote control system”.
