Using IEEE 1394 Devices

IEEE 1394 Devices and the Input Selection Menu

When you connect an IEEE 1394 device to the TV network and power it on, the new device is automatically detected. Some non-audio/video or incompatible IEEE 1394 devices, such as personal computers (PCs), may not be detected by the TV and do not appear in the Input Selection menu. Such devices can, however, coexist and are still available to work with other devices on the IEEE 1394 network that are compatible with these non-audio/video devices.

Some devices may be a combination of two or more types of devices, such as a recording device that is also a tuning device. Each portion of the device is called a sub-unit.

When you select a device on the Input Selection menu that has sub-units, a pop-up menu will appear to allow you to select the sub-unit you wish to use.

Recording to IEEE 1394 Devices

You can use the TV to control recording to IEEE 1394 devices. The following table lets you see what signals can be recorded to an IEEE 1394 digital VCR or A/V disc.

Switching Between Analog and Digital IEEE 1394 Outputs

To enable switching between analog and digital outputs, you must have check marked the Analog Connection box when the New 1394 Device screen displayed when you first connected the device. See chapter 3, “TV Setup.”

Figure 7. The ClearThought Auto Input sensing screen for IEEE 1394 devices. Place a check in the Analog Connection box if your device has both analog and digital outputs.

1.Press INPUT to display the Input Selection menu.

2.Highlight the icon for the IEEE 1394 device and press

ENTER.

3.Press to switch between icons representing the analog and digital outputs of the device. See figure 8.

Figure 8. The Input Selection menu shows icons for the analog and digital outputs of the IEEE 1394 device.
