IEEE 1394 Devices
Symptom Remarks
1. Excessive digital artifacts appear when
viewing an IEEE 1394 device.
• The IEEE 1394 cable is too long; 15 feet between devices is
the maximum.
• There may be a slow device in the middle of the IEEE 1394
network. Move the slow devices to the end so that connec-
tions for faster devices do not pass through them.
2. D-VHS recordings for digital cable have
drop-outs (loss of picture or sound), or no
playback.
Digital cable signals on IEEE 1394 can exceed the data rate stan-
dards supported by DVCR.
3. The IEEE 1394 Device is no longer listed in
the Input Selection menu.
• The IEEE 1394 plug is disconnected or loose.
• The IEEE 1394 device has not been powered on. Turn on.
• The device has not been discovered.
• The device is not an audio/video device
4. MENU button does not display a menu. • The IEEE 1394 device does not provide a menu.
• The TV cannot support the IEEE 1394 menus from this
device.
IEEE 1394 Recording
Symptom Remarks
1. Program to be recorded was correctly
selected from ChannelView, but incorrect
program was recorded.
• The broadcaster supplied program information that was
incorrect and/or was changed after a recording was added to
the Record List.
• TV Clock not set.
• Daylight Savings Time option is incorrect.
2. Incomplete ChannelView program recorded.
Recording device may lack sufficient blank space to make a full
recording.
3. ChannelView program recording failed. • Connection and compatibility issues with IEEE 1394
(FireWire
®
) digital devices. This may include too many
Firewire devices in use at one time, or the recording device
not understanding the record command.
• Television lost power long enough to lose current clock time.
• TV energy Mode was set to Low Power. Change TV Energy
mode to Fast Power On.
4. Cannot record to or from the IEEE 1394
device, including dubbed recordings.
• To initiate a recording to IEEE 1394 device, first switch the
TV to the desired input (recordable inputs are ANT1, ANT2,
INPUT 1–3). Press the (RECORD) key. The Record >
Schedule menu will display to allow setup of the recording.
• The source device for the recording is not powered on.
• When dubbing, the destination device for the recording is not
powered on.
• The program is copy protected.
• The program has already been recorded once and the copy
protection only allows one recording.
• Unapproved source device for copy protected material.
• The recording device cannot decode the copyright signal
included in the signal source (try another device if available).
• The playing device (for dubbing) does not support copy-
righted material.
• Source for recording is copyrighted
• Too many IEEE 1394 devices in network. Insufficient band-
width available. Disconnect unused devices.
• IEEE 1394 source device has higher communication speed (S
400) than record device. If possible, reverse devices, play in
the slower device and record in the faster device.
