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."
