CONNECTIONS
System control bus, CINEMA LINK
Video connections
If the receiver and your Philips TV (or even better in addition
a Philips VCR or DVD player) with Cinemalink are connected
with the CINEMA LINK system bus control, some extra
system benefits are offered:
– Upon starting a source, the system will automatically
switch to that input.
– You may control the system via the TV screen. Depending
on the language of the TV, this can be done in your
preferred language.
– The TV can function as the center speaker of your system,
making a separate center speaker unnecessary.
(The cable A has to be purchased separately.)
– By pressing the standby button on the remote control, you
can switch the complete system to standby.
