Peer-to-Peer Connections

What is a Peer-to-Peer Connection?

Figure 9

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. With the connection established, you can turn off the TV or use it to watch another device.

For example, the TV can set up a connection for an IEEE 1394 cable box that sends a program to another device for viewing. NetCommand establishes the connection between the two devices. Set up a recording over a peer-to-peer connection the same as you would any other NetCommand-controlled recording.

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

4.Press RECORD or CONNECT a second time to establish the connection.

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

Cancelling a Peer-to-Peer Connection

The peer-to-peer connection ends and the destination icon is removed. If there is more than one peer-to-peer connection for the same device, all the connections are cancelled.
