1394 device.

 

• No media (tape or disc) is inserted into the device.

 

 

 

 

 

• The media is blank (has no recording).

 

 

 

 

 

• The play command failed - Try pressing play again on the

 

 

 

 

 

 

device’s remote control or front panel.

 

 

 

 

 

• The device is already in use (for example, the device is cur-

 

 

 

 

 

 

rently recording).

 

 

 

 

 

• The source is copy-protected or violates copy protection.

 

 

 

 

 

• The device’s digital video signal is not supported by the TV,

 

 

 

 

 

 

as may be the case with an IEEE 1394 signal from a com-

 

 

 

 

 

 

puter. Use analog connections instead, if available.

 

 

 

 

 

• The device is not an audio/video device.

 

 

 

 

 

• Too many other devices are already communicating over IEEE

 

 

 

 

 

 

1394. Remove or stop some devices and try again.

• You have connected more than seven IEEE 1394 devices.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Unplug the eighth device and one other device. Plug the new

7.

All IEEE 1394 devices disappear.

 

• The connected devices must not be in a loop that returns to

 

 

 

 

 

 

the TV. Make sure a device is connected at the end.

 

 

 

 

 

• Disconnect all the cables and devices from the TV. Replace

 

 

 

 

 

 

them one by one to locate the problem device or cable.

 

 

 

 

 

• Use System Reset (front control panel).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

8.

An IEEE 1394 device has been plugged in

 

• The IEEE 1394 connection to the TV or another device is not

• The IEEE 1394 device is not powered on.

 

 

 

 

 

• A device in the IEEE 1394 chain is not powered on. Turn on

 

 

 

 

 

 

all the devices.

 

 

 

 

 

• The device discovery can take as long as a minute to initiate.

 

 

 

 

 

IEEE 1394 cable is too long (maximum of 15 feet between

 

 

 

 

 

 

devices).

 

 

 

 

 

• The IEEE 1394 device uses an incompatible protocol and will

 

 

 

 

 

 

not be discovered

10.

An IEEE 1394 device is not responding

 

Unplug the device’s power cord. Wait at least ten seconds

1.

Cannot see the A/V Receiver menu.

 

The A/V Receiver is not connected to any video input of the TV. To check

 

 

 

 

 

the A/V Receiver menu, temporarily plug into an unused input of the TV,
