IEEE 1394 Connections
The New 1394 Device screen appears if you connected an IEEE 1394 device. See figure 7. IEEE 1394 devices are automatically under NetCommand control. The TV can recognize up to seven IEEE 1394 devices at one time. If you connect more than one device of the same type, a unique identifier is added to the name for each one. For example, if you connect three A/V discs, you may see AV Disc, AV Disc1, AV Disc2.
Figure 7. The New 1394 Device screen shows the device name and includes a check box for an associated analog connection.
IEEE 1394 Device with an Analog Connection
Some IEEE 1394 devices have both digital and analog outputs to the TV. If you have such a device, place a check mark in the Analog Connection check box to allow you to use the TV’s Input Selection menu to select either the analog or digital output.
For instructions on switching between analog and digital outputs, see chapter 6, “NetCommand Operations.”
If your IEEE 1394 device can be connected to the TV with an analog connection, follow the instructions below.
1.Connect the device to the TV with an IEEE 1394 cable first.
2.When the New 1394 Device screen appears with the Analog Connection check box highlighted, press ENTER to enter a check mark.
3.In the New 1394 Device screen, note the name assigned to the device, as you will need to use the same name in a later step. See figure 7, New 1394 Device screen.
4.Connect the device to the TV with the supplemental analog cable.
5.The next screen is the auto Input Sensing screen (see figure 6) in which you can select a name for the device. If you select the wrong name for the device, you will be unable to switch between the analog and digital inputs to the TV.
If the device is a cable box, select the name CABLE as the name for the analog input.
Note: If you connected the cables in reverse sequence (analog first), you will later need to change the input name in the Input Name menu.
a.Switch to any viewing device other than the one you wish to change (press INPUT to open the Input Selection menu).
b.Open the NetCommand menu and then open the Input Name menu.
c.Highlight the text box for the analog input used for the IEEE 1394 device.
d.Press to scroll through the available names to display the name you earlier noted for the IEEE 1394 device.
e.Press EXIT.
