How to Connect: TV + DTVLink and/or IEEE-1394 Components
Two connection methods when connecting
Note: If you’ve tuned to a 1394 input, you can control some basic transport functions on the component like RECORD, STOP, FAST FORWARD, REVERSE, PAUSE, and PLAY when remote is in TV mode.
Three types of 1394 connectors are available on 1394 components;
You should know:
•Connect your 1394 components to either DTVLink (1394) jack; it doesn’t matter.
•Only compatible 1394 components are to be connected to the DTVLink (1394) input/output jack.
•Do not loop the 1394 components back to the TV. That is, each 1394 connection chain should have only one connection point to the TV, or the network might not work.
•Place the slower components at the end of the chain and the faster ones closest to the TV in the chain for faster communication speed. See component’s manual for 1394 network speed.
•The TV can’t decode DV format of some camcorders, but it can decode/accept MPEG2 format from some camcorders.
Note: The TV outputs audio/video through the 1394 jack (labeled DTVLink) only to a component that enforces video copy protection.
