Useful hints

Power saving

Mains cord

Master Link must not be connected if POWER SAVING is set to ON in the STANDBY SETTINGS menu.  
If POWER SAVING is set to ON and the TV is in standby, the socket MASTERLINK is deactivated. This 
means that you cannot access the TV from your link room audio or video system, while the main room 

TV is in standby. Furthermore, it is not possible to make recordings on sources connected to any AV 

sockets. See the Guide for further information. 
Connect the socket on the main connection panel of your TV to the wall outlet. The TV is in standby 
mode and ready to be used.

This allows you to set the source on AV3 to switch

for timed recording of the source on AV3,
