Adding IEEE 1394 Devices Automatically, continued
Connection Screen

Select the TV input that you used when you connected
the video or S-Video cables. You may also select the TV
or A/V receiver input you used when you connected the
stereo audio cables. The TV will learn the input names
for the TV Input and A/V Receiver Input selections. If
your A/V receiver has other inputs than those listed
in the menu, those other inputs are not available for
NetCommand.
The playback and record control of some DV camcorders
may still operate by the IEEE 1394 cable automatically,
even though you must use the video or S-video cable
for the picture. In this case, when you select the
Camcorder, be sure to select analog (not digital) from the
pop up when a camcorder is selected from the Device
Selection menu. Then the picture is shown via the analog
connection but control is from IEEE 1394.

If the new IEEE 1394 device is also connected using
analog inputs, you will need to define the device type.
Select the type of device, such as a VCR.
Once the device type is selected, then the Device
screen is displayed so the manufacturer can be
selected. If the manufacturer is listed, then you may
be able to control this device while it is operating as
an analog VCR. For example, if the IEEE 1394 device
you have added is a Mitsubishi DVCR, and you have
selected an analog connection as a second connection,
then you will select Mitsubishi for the manufacturer. If
the manufacturer is not listed, select “Other” and use
the Learn screens.
Be sure to place an IR Emitter in front of the remote
control sensor, just as you have done for other
NetCommand® devices. It is necessary to use the
IR Emitter only when the DVCR is being used as an
S-VHS or VHS VCR. When the DVCR is playing or
recording digital signals in D-VHS, the TV will control
the VCR through the IEEE 1394 cable.
