Tips for Connecting IEEE 1394 Devices

IEEE 1394 Camcorders

•Do not loop the last device in the chain back to the TV. When the

device chain is looped,
the TV may not be able	��
to work with the other
devices.

• Control Functions. Connect the camcorder to the

TV’s IEEE 1394 jack on the rear of the TV and test

using the TV’s remote control to operate the cam-

corder. If your model does not operate properly, use

the camcorder’s control buttons instead.

• MPEG Camcorder. If you are unable to play back

over the IEEE 1394 interface, use the analog audio/

• Place devices that have only a mechanical (two-posi-

tion) power switch at the end of the chain or leave the

power switch in the on position. When turned off,

IEEE 1394 signals may not be able to pass through the

device to other devices.

• Place devices with the slowest communication speed

at the end of the chain. Sometimes the communica-

tion speed is marked near the IEEE 1394 connector

video connections described in chapter 2, “TV Con-

nections.”

• DV Camcorder. Connect the camcorder using the

analog audio and video connections described in

chapter 2, “TV Connections.”

with an “S” number. The higher the number, the faster

the communication speed. This TV has a communica-

tion speed of s400. Devices with slow communica-

tion speeds can interfere with IEEE 1394 signals from

faster devices. When setting up a digital recording

between a faster device and a slower device, make

the slower device the source and make the faster

device the recorder.

• Use IEEE 1394 cables 15 feet or less in length

between devices.

• This TV is an IEEE 1394a device. It can be used with

an IEEE 1394b system when an IEEE-1394a-to-1394b

convertor is used. 1394b systems are capable of

greater distances and multi-room applications.

• The TV can recognize a maximum of seven IEEE 1394

devices at any one time.

You can connect an IEEE 1394 camcorder with an IEEE 1394 cable or with analog audio/video cables. In either case, test using the TV’s remote control to operate the camcorder over the IEEE 1394 cable.
