IEEE1394 device initialization

Chapter 2: Connecting your TV

Connecting IEEE1394 video devices (continued)

Connecting an AVHD (external hard drive) or D-VHS digital recorder

You can connect an IEEE1394 compatible D-VHS or AVHD (audio/video hard drive) digital recorder (such as Toshiba’s Symbio™ AVHD Recorder) to record high definition and standard definition material from either tuner and control live TV (pause, rewind, etc.).

When you connect a D-VHS or AVHD device to the TV:

•The remote control keys (LIVE, 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 AVHD device skip time.

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

This TV is compatible with the new Toshiba

Audio/Video Hard Drive Recorder!

Toshiba’s Symbio™ AVHD Recorder is designed specifically for high definition television (HDTV) and offers control over digital video recording and playback.

Think of it as a “tapeless VCR” for digital television. You can pause, rewind, or use instant replay, so you’ll never miss a thing!

Symbio also offers one-touch recording* of both standard and High Definition programs through the no-fee TV Guide

On Screen® interactive program guide built in to this TV.

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.

*Note: To enjoy the full benefits of your Symbio AVHD Recorder, you must first set up the TV Guide On Screen® system (see Chapter 5). Full Symbio AVHD Recorder benefits, including Intelligent One Touch recording, will not be available unless the TV Guide On Screen® system is fully operational. However, when the TV Guide On Screen® system is not fully operational, manual recording is available as long as the TV Guide On Screen® system has acquired the necessary date and time data. If you experience any issues with your Symbio AVHD Recorder, please contact Toshiba Consumer Solutions by calling (800) 631-3811 or visiting http://www.tacp.com/customersupport/contact.asp.

When you connect a new IEEE1394 device to the TV and turn it on, the device immediately announces its presence to the TV (and other networked IEEE1394 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 also connected your IEEE1394 device to an analog input, use the yzx • buttons to select the input in the ANALOG INPUT USED field; otherwise, leave it set to “None.” (See “Using analog-compatible IEEE1394 devices” on page 22.)

2.If you want to label the device, highlight Edit Label and press ENTER.

Note:

•The TV may not recognize incompatible or non-A/V IEEE1394 devices; however, these devices may still be available to other compatible IEEE1394 devices on the network.

•You may be able to use the TV’s remote control to operate some compatible IEEE1394 devices. You must first program the remote control to recognize the device (see Chapter 3). If you have an IEEE1394 Cable box or satellite receiver, you may need to use the remote control that came with the device.

•Toshiba is not liable for the operation of any IEEE1394 device other than the Toshiba Symbio AVHD recorder.
