Connecting Compatible IEEE 1394 Devices
Compatible IEEE 1394 Devices
It is possible to connect devices to the TV that have IEEE 1394 connectors but are not compatible with the TV or with the NetCommand® control system. Areas of compatibility to consider are:
1. Digital Video Signals
The TV is able to decode MPEG2 video. Other types of digital video, such as DV video provided by some camcorders, must be decoded by the source device and sent to the TV as analog video or S-Video. If the camcorder uses a compatible digital control system, the IEEE 1394 cable can still provide control for the camcorder while the TV is viewing the analog video or S-Video signals.
2. Digital Audio Signals
When received with video signals, the TV is able to decode Dolby Digital signals and MPEG audio signals. Other types of digital audio as provided by some digital recording devices, such as MP3 audio and DTS audio, cannot be decoded by the TV when received over IEEE 1394.
The TV may not be able to pass incompatible digital audio signals on the coaxial digital audio output, however these signals may pass on the IEEE 1394 cable to other devices.
When Connecting IEEE 1394 Devices
•Do not loop the last device in the chain back to the TV. When the device chain is looped, the TV may not be able to work with the other devices.
•Place devices that have only a mechanical (two- position) power switch at the end of the chain or leave the power switch in the On position. When turned Off, IEEE 1394 signals may not be able to pass through the device to other devices.
•Place devices with the slowest communication speed at the end of the chain. Sometimes the communication speed will be marked near the IEEE 1394 connector with an “S” number. The higher the number, the faster the communication speed. This TV has a communication speed of S400. Devices with slow communication speed can interfere with IEEE 1394 signals from faster devices. When using NetCommand to set up a digital recording between a faster and slower device, the slower device should be the source and the faster device should be the sync.
3. Digital Control Signal
The TV is able to act as the control center for IEEE 1394 audio/video devices, such as VCRs, A/V Discs, tuners, cable boxes and amplifiers that are compatible with the following IEEE 1394 control standards.
•EIA-775is designed for tuning devices such as cable boxes allowing the device to send simple graphics. However, this standard does not allow the TV to control the cable box by IEEE 1394.
•AV/C (Audio Video Control) is designed to provide basic controls such as play, stop, channel selection and volume, as appropriate for the device.
Some devices may be a combination of two or more types of devices. For example, there may be a recording device that is also a tuning device. Each portion of the device is called a sub-unit. When you select a device on the Device Selection menu that has sub-units, a pop-up menu will appear so you can select which sub-unit section you wish to use.
•Do not use an IEEE 1394 cable longer than 15 feet between each device.
•This TV is an IEEE 1394a Device. IEEE 1394b is currently under development. This system will provide for longer distances and multi- room applications. Included in the IEEE
1394b systems are IEEE 1394a to IEEE 1394b converters to maintain compatibility with this TV and other IEEE 1394a devices.
