Using the D-Net
Connection Options
There are two different connection options for connecting D-Net (IEEE1394) compatible devices. Select the most suitable option according to your network of audio/video products.
The Direct Device-To-Device Option
D-Net (IEEE1394) permits the chaining of devices, unlike analog audio and video connections where each device needs to be individually connected to the TV. This allows you to connect your D-VHS to your 1394 Set-Top Box only, then connect the Set-Top Box to the TV.
More IEEE1394 devices can be added to the chain as needed. Each video device can be viewed on the TV’s D-Net and information can be sent from any IEEE1394 device to other compatible devices.
DTV STB
Digital VCR
The Hub Connection Option
D-Net (IEEE1394) also permits connecting devices using the TV as a hub. Each device is capable of sending information, which may include audio and video, to any other device on the network.
