How to Connect: TV + DTVLink and/or IEEE-1394 Components

Two connection methods when connecting IEEE-1394 and DTVLink components are: component-to-component or hub. The component-to-component method is each component connected in a chain-like fashion, one to the other with the first component in the chain connected to the DTVLink jack on the TV. The hub method is basically the same but using both 1394 jacks with two chains of components connected. Your TV is a control center for the connected compatible components, automatically recognizing each component and placing it in the Input list.

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; 4-pin connector (no power); 6-pin connector (with power) and 6-pin connector (without power supplied). Your HDTV has a 6-pin connector (without power supplied). Both the 4-pin and 6-pin connectors are capable of sending digital audio, digital video, and digital control signals back and forth between components. In addition, the 6-pin connector is capable of sending low voltage electrical power. If you should have some components with 4-pin connectors, 4-to-6 pin adapter cables are available from your local electronic stores.

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.
