Adding IEEE 1394 Devices
Automatically
When an IEEE 1394 device is connected into the TV network and is powered On, the new device will automatically announce its presence. This process is called device discovery and can take up to 1 minute. Some
IEEE 1394 cable boxes and satellite receivers may require that you use the remote control that came with those devices. For some compatible devices, the Cable/SAT/ DTV position of the TV remote control may be able to control operation.

If you choose to add the discovered IEEE 1394 device, the Name for 1394 Device screen will appear. Name the device or use the default name that appears automatically.
Some IEEE 1394 digital devices, such as some DVCRs, can also operate as analog devices. For example, some DVCRs can record and play as VHS or

When your TV discovers a new IEEE 1394 device, the New 1394 Device screen will appear. Selecting “Add”
will include the device in the Device Selection menu. Figure 2. Name for 1394 Device screen Selecting “Do Not Add” will not add the device to the
Device Selection menu. If the IEEE 1394 device does not provide audio and video, you may not want to add that device to the TV’s Device Selection menu. Devices that were discovered but not added to the Device Selection menu will still be listed in the Review screen of the Edit NetCommand® menu.
