to identify it by selecting from a pre-set list of device
names. The table below defines how connections
on
each TV jack are handled.

If the device is powered off when connected,
detec-
tion will occur when the device is next powered on.
Connect your devices to the TV.
The TV and the devices can be either on or off when
connecting.
If the TV is powered off, the detection
process will occur the next time you turn on the TV.
When the Auto Input Sensing screen opens (figure

IEEE 1394 Connections
The screen in figure 3 appears when you make an IEEE
1394 connection,
iEEE 1394 Device with an Analog
Connection.
Some IEEE 1394 devices have both digital and analog
outputs to the TV. If you have such a device, place a
check mark in the Analog
Connection
check box to:
•
Allow a cable box with both analog and digital outputs
to switch automatically
between them.
•
Allow you to use a TV menu to select either the analog
or digital output from the device.
For instructions
on switching between analog and digital
outputs, see chapter 7, "Using IEEE 1394 Devices."
