Controlled Peer-to-Peer Connections
What is a Peer-to-Peer Connection?
Figure 14
A peer-to-peer connection allows the IEEE 1394 devices
in your TV network to talk to each other without the
further need of TV intervention once the peer-to-peer
connection is established.
For example, the TV can setup a connection for an
A/V Disc or DVCR that sends a recorded program to
an IEEE 1394 monitor in another room. NetCommand
will establish the connection between the two devices.
Once the connection has been established, the TV
can be turned off or used to watch another device.
Recording from digital channels to a DVCR is also a
peer-to-peer connection. In this case, the TV is one of
the devices in the peer-to peer connection.
Analog or traditional (non-digital) devices can not be
used for peer-to-peer connections.
Setting up a Peer-to-Peer Connection
A peer-to-peer connection is a current connection and
cannot be setup as a delayed connection.
To establish a peer-to-peer connection:
1. Press CONNECT on the TV remote.
2. Press DEVICE on the remote control to move to the
Source Device section.
3. Press ADJUST or to select the source device
you will record from.
4. Press ENTER to confirm selection and return to the
“Record to” section.
5. In the “Record to” section, review the destination
device (example: DVCR) and duration. Change if
necessary.
6. Press CONNECT a second time to initiate
recording.
Canceling a Current Peer-to-Peer
Connection
When a peer-to-peer connection has been established,
you can cancel the connection by highlighting
the source device in the Device Selection menu.
Confirm that the on-screen icon for the peer-to-peer
connection is in the Connection Section next to the
TV icon, then press CANCEL. The peer-to-peer
connection will end and the destination icon will be
removed. If there is more than one peer-to-peer
connection for the same device, all of the connections
will all be canceled.
NOTE: Multiple peer-to-peer connections can
occur simultaneously, sometimes with the same
source device. Also, please note that peer-to-
peer connections are NOT listed on the Record
List screen.
