Chapter 2: Connecting your TV

Connecting IEEE-1394 video devices (continued)

Connecting an A/V HD (external hard drive) or D-VHS digital recorder

You can connect an IEEE-1394 compatible D-VHS or A/V HD digital recorder (such as ToshibaÕs Symbioª 160HD4 AVHD) to record high definition and standard definition material from either tuner and control live TV (pause, rewind, fast forward, etc.).

Toshiba’s Symbio 160HD4 AVHD (audio/video hard drive) is a recorder designed specifically for high definition television (HDTV). The Symbio AVHD offers control over digital video recording and playback. Think of it as a “tapeless” VCR for digital television. You can pause, fast forward, reverse, or use instant replay, so you’ll never miss a thing. However, unlike a traditional VCR, where you wait for a program to finish recording before you start watching it, the Symbio AVHD allows you to “pause live TV.” For example, you can pause, rewind, and play back a program while it is being recorded. Since there is no tape to rewind, you can view a program that started recording 20 minutes ago, even while it is still recording.

When you connect a D-VHS or A/V HD device to the TV:

¥The remote control keys (REW, PAUSE, PLAY, FF, etc.) are automatically activated to allow control of live TV.

¥The TV Guide On Screen system is automatically configured to allow recording to the device. See Chapters 5 and 7 for details. Also see page 50 for details on setting the A/V HD device skip time.

¥Some programs may not be recorded due to copy protection restrictions.

NOTE: NEVER CONNECT THIS TV

TO A PERSONAL COMPUTER (PC).

THIS TV IS NOT INTENDED FOR USE WITH A PC.

The unauthorized recording, use, distribution, or revision of television programs, videotapes, DVDs, and other materials is prohibited under the Copyright Laws of the United States and other countries, and may subject you to civil and criminal liability.

IEEE-1394 device initialization

When you connect a new IEEE-1394 device to the TV and turn it on, the device immediately announces its presence to the TV (and other networked IEEE-1394 devices, if any), and the following device initialization screen automatically appears.

Note: With some devices, it may take up to one minute for this screen to appear.

1.If you have connected your IEEE-1394 device to an analog input also, use the yzx • buttons to select the input in the ANALOG INPUT USED field; otherwise, leave it set to ÒNone.Ó (See ÒUsing analog-compatible IEEE-1394 devicesÓ on page 22.)

2.If you want to label the device, highlight EDIT LABEL and press ENTER.

3.Press the yzx • buttons to select a character for the first space and then press ENTER.

4.Repeat step 3 to enter the rest of the characters.

5.Highlight SAVE and press ENTER to save the information.

Note:

•The TV may not recognize non-A/V or non-compatible IEEE-1394 devices; however, these devices may still be available to other compatible IEEE-1394 devices on the network.

•You may be able to use the TV’s remote control to operate some compatible IEEE-1394 devices. You must first program the remote control to recognize the device (see Chapter 3). If you have an IEEE-1394 Cable box or satellite receiver, you may need to use the remote control that came with the device.
