Adding IEEE 1394 Devices Automatically
New 1394 Device Screen
(Figure )
When your TV discovers a new IEEE device, the
New Device screen will appear. Selecting Add
will include the device in the Device Selection menu.
Selecting Not Added will not add the device to the
Device Selection menu. If the IEEE device does
not provide audio and video, you may not want to add
that device to the HDTV Receiver’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.
When an IEEE device is connected into the HDTV Receiver network and is powered ON, the new device
will automatically announce its presence. This process is called device discovery and can take up to minute. Some
non-audio/video or non-compatible IEEE devices, such as Personal Computers (PCs), may not announce
their presence to the HDTV Receiver. The HDTV Receiver will not be able to show these devices in the Device
Selection menu, however, they can co-exist and will still be available to other devices on the IEEE network that
are compatible with these non-audio/video devices.
IEEE cable boxes and satellite receivers may require that you use the remote control that came with those
devices. For some compatible devices, the HDTV Receiver remote control may be able to control operation using the
VCR, DVD or Audio position of the remote control.
Name for 1394 Device Screen
(Figure )
If you choose to add the discovered IEEE device,
the Name for Device Screen will appear. You
can then name the device or use the default name that
appears automatically.
Some IEEE digital devices, such as some D-VHS
VCRs, can also operate as analog devices. For example,
some D-VHS VCRs can also record and play in VHS
or S-VHS. This feature 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. Also, you will need to connect the
device to the HDTV Receiver using video or S-video
cables.
