Setting the recording mode. Sharp LC-26GD6U, LC 32GD6U, LC 37GD6U

Using external equipment

Setting the recording mode (i.LINK)

• The function for automatically adjusting the recording mode of connected D-VHS decks can be turned on or off.

• Since most of the currently available D-VHS decks automatically recognize the transfer rates of the pictures and sound being recorded and control the recording mode accordingly, you should always set

this Mode to “Pass thru” in normal circumstances.

• Depending on the D-VHS deck used and the type of broadcast being recorded, this TV may not adjust the recording mode properly. In this case, please set the “Recording Mode” to “Pass thru”.

Setting the Standby Mode (i.LINK)

• Power consumption during standby mode can be minimized by changing the setting of the “Standby

Mode” in “i.LINK Setup”.

• When i.LINK is not in use, select “Inactive” in

“Standby Mode”.

NOTE

• When the main power of the TV is in standby mode

(POWER indicator lights off), i.LINK control commands cannot be received from a D-VHS deck. This does not change even if the “Standby Mode” is set to “Active”. To control the TV from a D-VHS deck, turn the TV power on

(POWER indicator lights up in blue).

• Data cannot be relayed between i.LINK devices when all the following conditions are met: 1) More than one i.LINK

device is connected to the TV with i.LINK cables, 2)

“Standby Mode” is set to “Inactive”, and 3) The power of the TV is in standby mode (POWER indicator lights off).

When the TV is connected between two i.LINK devices in series, select “Active” in “Standby Mode” or connect the

TV at an end of the series as shown in the diagram.
