Some Sony Bravia HDTVs include a rear USB port intended for DMeX/Service Link Modules. A DMeX button on the remote control operates the external module. The four most common Link Modules are the Video Internet module, the HDMI Input module, the DVD Link module and the Wireless Link module. All external modules are sold separately from Sony Bravia TVs.
