FIRST TIME USE

CONNECTING A COMPONENT SOURCE WITH DIGITAL INTERFACE CAPABILITY TO IEEE1394 TERMINALS

1.Connect the IEEE1394 cable from the output of the component with IEEE1394 capability, such as a Set-Top-Box or Digital VCR, to the IEEE1394 input terminals shown on the AVC Center below. IEEE 1394 allows the plasma television and the external device to communicate with one another. When using IEEE1394 connections, you enable video and audio digital data exchange between a compatible device. This connection also enables you to control basic equipment functions (such as VCR play, rewind, fast forward, stop, etc.) from your TV On-Screen Display.

2.Press the INPUTS button on the Remote Control.

3.Select the IEEE1394 option (see page 36).

NOTES: 1. To quickly enter IEEE1394 menu, press the AV NET button on the remote control and then select the IEEE1394 device.

2.This Plasma TV’s IEEE1394 connection is not compatible with a DV camcorder (Digital Video camcorder) and a PC.

3.With IEEE1394 connection, video and audio will be received by the TV. It will enable you to control the D-VHS from the TV IEEE1394 menu (see page 36).

4.The IEEE1394 interface contains the copy protection standard called 5C or Digital Transmission Content Protection (DTCP).

5.See page 26 for tips on Rear Panel Connections.
