Teletext
What is teletext?Teletext	broadcasts	pages	of	information	and	entertainment	to	specially	equipped	TV.	Your	TV	receives	teletext	signals	broadcast	by	a	TV	network,	and	decodes	them	into	graphical	format	for	viewing.	News,	weather	and	sports	information,	stock	exchange	prices	and	programme	previews	are	among	the	many	services	available.
Turning teletext on/off
 1Select a TV channel or external source providing a teletext programme.
 2Press m to display the teletext.•	Many	stations	use	the	TOP	operating	system,	while	some	use	FLOF	(e.g.,	CNN).	Your	TV	supports	both	these	systems.	The	pages	are	divided	into	topic	groups	and	topics.	After	switching	on	the	teletext,	up	to	2,000	pages	are	stored	for	fast	access.•	If	you	select	a	programme	with	no	teletext	signal,	“No	Teletext	available”	displays.•	The	same	message	displays	during	other	modes	if	no	teletext	signal	is	available.

Controlling HDMI devices using AQUOS LINK
 EWhat is AQUOS LINK?Using	the	HDMI	CEC	protocol,	with	AQUOS	LINK	you	can	interactively	operate	compatible	system	devices	(AV	amplifier,	DVD	player/recorder,	Blu-ray	player/recorder)	using	a	single	remote	control	unit.
NOTE•	AQUOS	LINK-compatible	AQUOS	AUDIO	speaker	system	and	AQUOS	recorder	are	scheduled	to	be	on	sale	after	the	release	of	this	TV.•	AQUOS	LINK	does	not	work	while	using	time	shift	functions.
 EWhat you can do with AQUOS LINK
 ✔One touch recording (DTV/SAT only)
You	do	not	have	to	search	for	the	remote	control	unit	of	your	recording	device.	Press	the	REC	E	or	REC STOP	H	buttons	to	start/stop	recording	what	you	see	on	the	recorder.
 ✔One touch play
When	the	TV	is	in	standby	mode,	it	will	automatically	turn	on	and	play	back	the	image	from	the	HDMI	source.
 ✔Single remote control operation
AQUOS	LINK	automatically	recognises	connected	HDMI	devices	and	you	can	control	the	TV	and	the	devices	as	if	using	a	universal	remote	control	unit.
 ✔Operating title list of external devices
In	addition	to	displaying	the	TV’s	own	timer	list	(Page	22),	you	can	also	call	up	the	external	player’s	top	menu	or	AQUOS	BD	player’s/AQUOS	recorder’s	title	list	provided	that	the	devices	support	AQUOS	LINK.
 ✔Multiple control of HDMI devices
You	can	select	which	HDMI	device	to	operate	using	the	“Link	operation”	menu.
NOTE•	When	you	use	AQUOS	LINK,	make	sure	to	use	a	certified	HDMI	cable.•	Point	the	remote	control	unit	toward	the	TV,	not	to	the	connected	HDMI	device.•	Video	noise	may	occur	depending	on	the	type	of	HDMI	cable	used.	Make	sure	to	use	a	certified	HDMI	cable.•	Up	to	three	HDMI	recording	devices,	one	AV	amplifier	and	three	players	can	be	connected	using	this	system.•	These	operations	affect	the	HDMI	device	selected	as	the	current	external	source.	If	the	device	does	not	operate,	turn	on	the	device	and	select	the	appropriate	external	source	using	b.•	When	you	insert/remove	HDMI	cables	or	change	connections,	turn	on	all	connected	HDMI	devices	before	turning	on	the	TV.	Confirm	that	picture	and	audio	are	correctly	output	by	selecting	“HDMI	1”,	“HDMI	2”,	“HDMI	3”	or	“HDMI	4”	from	the	“INPUT	SOURCE”	menu.
AQUOS LINK connection
First	connect	the	AQUOS	AUDIO	speaker	system	or	an	AQUOS	BD	player/AQUOS	recorder	that	supports	the	HDMI	CEC	protocol.
NOTE•	Refer	to	the	operation	manual	of	the	device	to	be	connected	for	further	details.•	After	unplugging	connection	cables	or	changing	the	connection	pattern,	turn	on	the	power	of	the	TV	after	all	relevant	devices’	power	have	been	turned	on.	Change	the	external	input	source	by	pressing	b,	select	the	appropriate	external	source	and	verify	the	audiovisual	output.•	The	cables	illustrated	in	the	following	explanation	are	commercially	available	items.•	The	four	buttons	(G,	I,	V,	H)	connected	by	a	green	line	are	used	for	time	shift	operations	for	the	time	shift	function.
