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
Select a TV channel or external source providing 
a teletext programme.
Press  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.
Each time you press  m, the screen switches as 
shown below.
Press  m again to display the teletext on the right 
screen and the normal image on the left screen.
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.

Connecting external devices
Before connecting ...
Be sure to turn off the TV and any devices before making any connections.
Firmly connect a cable to a terminal or terminals.
Carefully read the operation manual of each external device for possible connection types. This also helps you get the be\
st 
possible audiovisual quality to maximise the potential of the TV and the\
 connected device.
Refer to page 46 for connecting a PC to the AVC System.
Introduction to connections
The AVC System is equipped with the terminals as shown below. Find the cable corresponding the terminal and connect the device.
NOTEThe cables illustrated in pages 22–25 are commercially available items.

Connecting external devices
HDMI connection
The HDMI connections permit digital video and audio 
transmission via a connection cable from a player/
recorder. The digital picture and sound data are 
transmitted without data compression and therefore 
lose none of their quality. Analogue/digital conversion 
is no longer necessary in the connected devices, 
which also would result in quality losses.
DVI/HDMI conversion
Using a DVI/HDMI cable, the digital video signals of 
a DVD can also be played via the compatible 
HDMI 
connection. The sound must be fed in additionally.
When connecting a DVI/HDMI cable to the HDMI terminal, the 
image may not come in clearly.
Both HDMI and DVI use the same HDCP copy protection method.
NOTEIf a connected HDMI device is AQUOS LINK compatible, you 
can take advantage of versatile functions (Pages 27–29).
Video noise may occur depending on the type of HDMI cable used. 
Make sure to use a certified HDMI cable.
When playing the HDMI image, the best possible format for the 
picture will be detected and set automatically.
Supported video signal:
576i, 576p, 480i, 480p, 1080i, 720p, 1080p
See page 49 for PC signal compatibility.

Connecting external devices
NOTEIn cases when the decoder needs to receive a signal from the TV, make sure to select the appropriate input terminal to which 
the decoder is connected in “Manual Adjust” in the “Analogue Se\
tting” menu (Page 36).
TV-VCR advanced AV Link systems may not be compatible with some external sources.
You cannot connect the VCR with decoder using a fully wired SCART cable when selecting “Y/C” under “EXT2” in the “Input 
Select” menu.
Controlling devices with SCART using AV Link
This TV incorporates four typical AV Link functions for smooth connections between the AVC System and other 
audiovisual equipment.
One Touch Play
While the TV is in standby mode, it automatically turns on and plays back the image from the audiovisual source 
(e.g. VCR, DVD player/recorder).
TV Standby
When the TV enters standby mode, the connected audiovisual equipment (e\
.g. VCR, DVD player/recorder) enters 
standby mode as well.
WYSIWYR
When the remote control unit of the connected VCR has the WYSIWYR button, you can automatical\
ly start 
recording by pressing the WYSIWYR button.
Preset Download
Automatically transfers the channel preset information from the AVC System to the one on the connected 
audiovisual equipment (e.g. VCR) via the EXT2 terminal.
NOTE
Refer to the operation manuals of external equipment for details.
The AV Link function works only when audiovisual equipment is connected to th\
e EXT2 terminal with a fully wired SCART cable.
The use of the AV Link function is only possible if the TV has enforced a complete auto installation with the connected 
audiovisual equipment (Pages 11–15, Initial auto installation).
The availability of the AV Link function depends on the audiovisual equipment used. Depending on \
the manufacturer and type 
of equipment used, it is possible that the described functions may be co\
mpletely or partially unusable.

AQUOS LINK
Controlling HDMI devices using AQUOS LINK
What 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

HDMI cable.
Up to three HDMI recording devices, one AV amplifier and two 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 
“HDMI1”, “HDMI2” or “HDMI3” from the “INPUT SOURCE” menu.
