NetCommand® Controlled Peer-to-Peer Connections

What is a Peer-to-Peer Connection?

Figure 12

Apeer-to-peer connection allows the IEEE 1394 devices in your TV network to talk to each other without the further need of TV intervention once the peer-to-peer connection is established.

For example, the TV can set up a connection for an IEEE 1394 cable box that sends a program to be recorded

to an A/V Disc or DVCR. NetCommand will establish the connection between the two devices. Once the connection has been established, the TV can be turned off or used to watch another device. Recording from digital channels to a DVCR is also a peer-to-peer connection. In this case, the TV is one of the devices in the peer-to peer connection.

NOTE: Analog or traditional (non-digital) devices can not be used for peer-to-peer connections.

Setting up a Peer-to-Peer Connection

Apeer-to-peer connection is a current connection and cannot be setup as a delayed connection.

To establish a peer-to-peer connection:

1.Tune to source.

2.Press CONNECT or REC/CONNECT on the TV remote.

3.In the “Record to” section, review the destination device (example: DVCR) and duration. Change if necessary.

4.Press CONNECT or REC/CONNECT a second time to initiate recording.

NOTE: Multiple peer-to-peer connections can occur simultaneously, sometimes with the same source device. Also, please note that peer-to-peer connections are NOT listed on the Record List screen.

Canceling a Current Peer-to-Peer Connection

When a peer-to-peer connection has been established, you can cancel the connection by highlighting the source device in the Device Selection menu. Confirm that the on-screen icon for the peer-to-peer connection is in the Connection Section next to the TV icon, then press CANCEL. The peer-to-peer connection will end and the destination icon will be removed. If there is more than one peer-to-peer connection for the same device, all of the connections will all be canceled.
