NexTView Link
NexTView Link is an “intelligent” link, which can be used to set up channels
and as an easy way to set programmes for recording on a video recorder
with the NexTView Link function or similar (Easy Link, Smart Link,
Megalogic, etc.) from a TV/DVD already set up.The video recorder should
be connected to the AV1 socket using a AVLink Scart cable.
If you bought an Easy Link video recorder before 1997, it is possible that
the recording function is not supported.
Setting up channels
The NexTView Link can be used to automatically download the terrestrial
and cable channels already stored in the TV/DVD to the video
recorder.They will be arranged in the same order on both items of
equipment. Refer to the instructions for your video recorder to find out how
this is done.
Immediate recording
The NexTView Link function can be used to record what you are currently
watching.
You simply press the relevant button on the video recorder remote control
(usually REC) and the recorder will automatically switch to the same
channel as the TV/DVD and start recording.
Refer to the instructions for your video recorder to find out the relevant
button to press and for more information on the subject.
Connecting a video recorder
To obtain optimum picture quality, use a SCART cable. However, you can
also connect a video recorder to the TV/DVD using the aerial socket.
The diagram on the inside cover at the end of the manual illustrates how
this is done.
If you connect a video recorder only via the aerial socket (without any AV
socket connection), switch it on and play a cassette.
Then use the Auto update or the manual channel set-up, of the
INSTALLATION OVERVIEW to search for the video recorder signal
(refer to the Manual set-up section on page 7).
The player’s digital audio (optical) output jack fully complies with
the international standard governing this type of jack (IEC 958). It is
designed exclusively for connection to a Dolby Digital or a suitable
decoder.
Do not use the Digital Audio Output jacks to connect to an equipment
other than a Dolby Digital or a suitable decoder. Such a connection can
create a high level of noise that may be harmful to your ears,
and could damage headphones or speakers.
Older digital equipment, some of which are not fully compliant with
IEC 958, are likely to cause this problem.To avoid this drawback, use
the «audio-digital output» menu (see page 14) to convert the Dolby
Digital audio-digital output from bit to linear PCM flux.
