Chapter 2: Connecting your TV

Connecting IEEE-1394 (Firewire™) video devices (continued)

IEEE-1394 device interconnection

IEEE-1394 devices can be interconnected (instead of each device having to be connected to a separate input on the TV) in either of two ways: (1) a device-to-device chain connection or

(2) a hub connection.

Chain connection

Connect the first IEEE-1394 device to one of the TV’s IEEE-1394 inputs, and then connect each subsequent device to the preceeding device in the chain.

¥Devices in the middle of the chain will need two IEEE-1394 ports for this connection to work as illustrated.

Hub connection

You can connect a chain of IEEE-1394 devices to each of the TV’s two IEEE-1394 jacks. The TV will then serve as a hub in your A/V system. Each device can send audio and video information to any other device in the system.

Important information regarding

IEEE-1394 device interconnection

¥Do not loop the last device in the chain back to the TV. If the device chain is looped, the TV may not work properly with the other devices in the chain.

¥Place devices with the slowest communication speed at the end of each chain. If a device with a slower communication speed is placed ahead of a faster device in the chain, the signal from the slower device will interfere with the signal from the faster device. To determine the communication speed of an IEEE-1394 device, look for an ÒSÓ number near the deviceÕs IEEE-1394 connector. The higher the ÒSÓ number, the faster the device. If your device is not marked with an ÒSÓ number, look in the deviceÕs user manual or call the device manufacturerÕs technical support number.

¥If your IEEE-1394 device has a two-position power switch, place the device at the end of the chain or leave the power switch ON at all times. If the power switch is OFF, it will interfere with signals from devices behind it in the chain.

¥The maximum length for an IEEE-1394 cable between each device is 15 feet.

¥This TV is an IEEE-1394A device. The IEEE-1394B protocol is faster and intended to allow for longer distances between devices and multi-room systems. IEEE-1394AÐtoÐIEEE-1394B converters (available at some electronics suppliers) may allow compatibility of IEEE-1394B devices with your existing IEEE-1394A devices.
