You can connect an IEEE 1394 camcorder with an IEEE
1394 cable or with analog audio/video cables. In either
case, test using the TV’s remote control to operate the
camcorder via the IEEE 1394 cable.
1. ConnectyourIEEE1394camcordertooneoftheTV’s
IEEE1394jacks.
2. WhentheNew1394Devicescreendisplays(see

DV Camcorder Notes
A. When viewing DV camcorders, it is normal for
temporary audio and video distortion to occur
under conditions such as:
• Playbackstartandstop
• Playbackpause
• Forwardorreversepicturesearch
B. Some older DV Camcorder models are not
compatible with this TV’s IEEE 1394 system
and the New 1394 Device screen will not
appear when the camcorder is connected. For
playback of incompatible DV camcorders, try
S-video and analog audio connections instead.
