Adding IEEE 1394 Devices Automatically
New 1394 Device Screen
Figure 1
When your TV discovers a new IEEE 1394 device, the
New 1394 Device screen will appear. Selecting “Add”
will include the device in the Device Selection menu.
Selecting “Do Not Add” will not add the device to
the Device Selection menu. If the IEEE 1394 device
does not provide audio and video, you may not want
to add that device to the TV’s Device Selection menu.
Devices that were discovered but not added to the
Device Selection menu will still be listed in the Review
screen of the Edit NetCommand
®
menu.
Name for 1394 Device Screen

If you choose to add the discovered IEEE 1394 device,
the Name for 1394 Device screen will appear. Name
the device or use the default name that appears
automatically.
Some IEEE 1394 digital devices, such as some DVCRs,
can also operate as analog devices. For example,
some DVCRs can record and play as VHS or S-VHS,
in addition to D-VHS. This allows you to play analog
rental tapes or analog tapes from your established
library or make analog recordings from antenna or
cable systems. To use the analog capability, check the
Analog Connection box.

Adding IEEE 1394 Devices
Automatically
When an IEEE 1394 device is connected into the
TV network and is powered On, the new device will
automatically announce its presence. This process is
called device discovery and can take up to 1 minute.
Some non-audio/video or non-compatible IEEE 1394
devices, such as Personal Computers (PCs), may not
announce their presence to the TV. The TV will not
be able to show these devices in the Device Selection
menu, however, they can coexist and will still be
available to other devices on the IEEE 1394 network
that are compatible with these non-audio/video
devices.
IEEE 1394 cable boxes and satellite receivers may
require that you use the remote control that came with
those devices. For some compatible devices, the
Cable/DBS/DTV position of the TV remote control may
be able to control operation.
