Panasonic tu-pt600b User Manual

A message, sent from the VCR, will appear on screen showing what is being recorded, or if it is not possible to
record. Some “Q-Link” compatible VCR’s only display the message when on the VCR programme position (0) or
in AV mode. See the VCR instruction book.

VCR is recording the programme signal from its own tuner. If you wish you can
switch off this set and leave the VCR recording in the normal way.

This allows the programme order from this set to be downloaded to the VCR, this helps to ensure that correct
recordings are made, there are several ways to perform this operation:
• During installation as explained in the ‘Quick Start Guide’ beginning on page 9.
• When Auto setup is started from within the Tuning menu, see page 31.
• When this set to VCR manual download is started from within ‘Programme edit’, see page 30.
• Preset download started from the VCR, refer to the VCR operating instruction book.

Notes:
• With Panasonic Q-Link VCR’s these additional features are available:

• If you insert a tape in the VCR and press the Play button whilst this set is in ‘Stand-by’ mode, this set will

automatically switch On and select the AV2 input so that you can view the tape.

• When this set is switched into ‘Stand-by’ mode, the VCR will also switch into ‘Stand-by’ mode if there is no tape

in the VCR, or if there is a tape in and the VCR is in ‘Rewind’ or ‘Stop’ mode (if the VCR is rewinding a tape, it
will not switch into ‘Stand-by’ mode until rewinding has finished).

• If this set is in Stand-by mode and the VCR sends a menu to be displayed on this set screen (e.g. Main menu),

this set will automatically switch On and the menu will be displayed.

• Not all VCR’s support this technology. This set will communicate with VCR’s bearing the following logos:

• “DATA LOGIC”

(a trademark of Metz Corporation)

• “Easy Link”

(a trademark of Philips Corporation)

• “Megalogic”

(a trademark of Grundig Corporation)

• “SMARTLINK”

(a trademark of Sony Corporation)

Some may support certain features, but not others. Refer to the VCR operating instruction book.

• If Q-Link is inoperative, first confirm that your Scart lead is a full function type. Ask your dealer for further

details.

This is a Q-Link TV. Q-Link, NEXTVIEWLINK and similar technology provide a way for the set and VCR to
communicate, making it easier to record programmes. In order to be able to exchange information both the set and
the VCR must be fitted with this technology, and must be connected with a SCART lead (full function type) between
the AV2 socket of this set  and the appropriate socket on the VCR (see the VCR instruction book for details).

Q-Link lets your set instruct a compatible VCR to record the programme currently shown on screen, no matter
what programme position is set on the VCR.

Press the 

 button.

Notes:
• If the VCR is in Stand-by mode, it will automatically switch on when you

press the 

 button.

• To ensure correct recordings are made, the set and VCR should share

tuning information (see page 30).

• Whenever the Auto setup function is used, tuning data will be

downloaded to the VCR (see page 31).
