Connecting IEEE 1394 Devices

4-Pin Style vs. 6-Pin Style
There are two different types of connectors used for IEEE
1394 terminals and cables, a 4-pin and a 6-pin style.
The 4-pin connector is capable of
sending digital audio signals, digital
video signals and digital control
signals back and forth between
devices. Your TV has three 4-pin
type connection jacks available.
4 pin connector One is on the front panel and two are
on the back.
The 6-pin connector is capable of
sending the same digital audio, video
and control signals as the 4-pin
connector, but the 6-pin connector
is also able to send low voltage
electrical power. The TV does not
6 pin connector
have 6 pin connectors.
The purpose of this low voltage electrical power is to
provide the needed operating power to a device that is
not connected directly to the household AC power such
as a camcorder. A device with a 6-pin connector can
send this electrical power to another device, or receive
electrical power from another device, or simply use a 6-
pin connector without using the two additional pins.
A 6-pin connector cannot be
connected directly to a 4-pin
jack, and vice versa. To connect
a 6-pin device to a 4-pin device,
you will need to obtain a 6-pin to
4-pin adaptor cable. These cables
are available from electronic and
6 pin to 4 pin adaptor
computer stores.
If you connect a 6-pin device to the TV (such as a
camcorder) that is designed to receive electrical power
from another 6-pin device, then you will need to connect
the camcorder directly to the household AC, or use the
camcorder's battery for power. If this is not possible,
then the camcorder will need to be connected directly to
another 6-pin device in the network that can provide the
electrical power.
Connection Styles
There are two different connection styles that can be used
when connecting IEEE 1394 devices. Use the style that
fits your network of audio/video products.
Direct Device-To-Device Style
The IEEE 1394 offers you the capability to chain devices,
unlike previous audio and video connections where you
had to individually connect each device directly to the
TV. For example, you can connect your D-VHS to your
1394 DVD Player and then connect the 1394 DVD Player
to the TV. The resulting IEEE 1394 chain will allow you to
add more devices to the chain. You will be able to see
each video device on the TV's Device Selection Menu
and send information from any IEEE 1394 device to other
compatible devices.

Hub Connection Style
The IEEE 1394 also offers you the capability to connect
your devices using the TV as a hub within the audio/video
network. Each device can send information, which
may include audio and video, to any other device in the
network.
