If the new IEEE 1394 device is also connected using analog inputs, you will need to define the device type. Select the type of device, such as a VCR.

Select the media center input that you used when you connected the video or S-Video cables. You may also select the media center or A/V receiver input you used when you connected the stereo audio cables. The media center will learn the input names for the media center input and A/V Receiver input selections. If your A/V receiver has other inputs than those listed in the menu, those other inputs are not available for NetCommand.

The playback and record control of some DV camcorders may still operate by the IEEE 1394 cable automatically, even though you must use the video or S-video cable for the picture. In this case, when you select the Camcorder, be sure to select analog (not digital) from the pop up when a camcorder is selected from the Device Selection menu. Then the picture is shown via the analog connection but control is from IEEE 1394.

Once the device type is selected, then the Device screen is displayed so the manufacturer can be selected. If the manufacturer is listed, then you may be able to control this device while it is operating as an analog VCR. For example, if the IEEE 1394 device you have added is a Mitsubishi DVCR, and you have selected

an analog connection as a second connection, then you will select Mitsubishi for the manufacturer. If the manufacturer is not listed, select “Other” and use the Learn screens.

Be sure to place an IR Emitter in front of the remote control sensor, just as you have done for other NetCommand® devices. It is necessary to use the IR Emitter only when the DVCR is being used as an S-VHS or VHS VCR. When the DVCR is playing or recording digital signals in D-VHS, the media center will control the VCR through the IEEE 1394 cable
