Tips for Connecting IEEE 1394 Devices

•Do not loop the last

to the TV. When the

devices.

 

•Place devices that have only a mechanical (two- position) 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 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. IEEE 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.

IEEE 1394 Camcorders

•Control Functions. Connect the camcorder to an IEEE 1394 jack on the front or 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 and DV Camcorders. If you are unable to play back over the IEEE 1394 interface, use the analog audio/video connections described in chapter 2, “TV Connections.”

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 via the IEEE 1394 cable.

1.Connect your IEEE 1394 camcorder to one of the TV’s IEEE 1394 jacks.

2.When the New 1394 Device screen displays (see above), confirm that the correct format, either MPEG or DV, is marked. In most cases, the TV automatically detects the camcorder format in use.

3If you have connected a DV camcorder and the MPEG radio button is marked, press to select DV.

4. Press EXIT.

DV Camcorder Notes

A.When viewing DV camcorders, it is normal for temporary audio and video distortion to occur under conditions such as:

•Playback start and stop

•Playback pause

•Forward or reverse picture search

B.Some older DV Camcorder models are not compatible with this TV’s IEEE 1394 system and the New 1394 Device screen will not appear when the camcorder is connected. For playback of incompatible DV camcorders, try S‑video and analog audio connections instead.
