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.

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/SAT/
DTV position of the TV remote control may be able to
control operation.
