Connecting IEEE-1394 video devices
Connecting an A/V HD (external hard
drive) or D-VHS digital recorder
You can connect an IEEE-1394 compatible D-VHS or A/V HD
digital recorder (such as Toshiba's Symbio
record high definition and standard definition material from
either tuner and control live TV (pause, rewind, fast forward,
etc.).
Toshiba's Symbio 160HD4 AVHD (audio/video hard drive) is
a recorder designed specifically for high definition television
(HDTV). The Symbio AVHD offers control over digital video
recording and playback. Think of it as a "tapeless" VCR for
digital television. You can pause, fast forward, reverse, or use
instant replay, so you'll never miss a thing. However, unlike a
traditional VCR, where you wait for a program to finish recording
before you start watching it, the Symbio AVHD allows you to
"pause live TV. " For example, you can pause, rewind, and play
back a program while it is being recorded. Since there is no tape
to rewind, you can view a program that started recording 20
minutes ago, even while it is still recording.
When you connect a D-VHS or A/V HD device to the TV:
• The remote control keys (REW, PAUSE, PLAY, FF, etc.) are
automatically activated to allow control of live TV.
• The TV Guide On Screen system is automatically configured
to allow recording to the device. See Chapters 5 and 7 for
details. Also see page 50 for details on setting the A/V HD
device skip time.
• Some programs may not be recorded due to copy protection
restrictions.
NOTE: NEVER CONNECT THIS TV
TO A PERSONAL COMPUTER (PC).
THIS TV IS NOT INTENDED FOR USE WITH A PC.
The unauthorized recording, use, distribution, or revision of television
programs, videotapes, DVDs, and other materials is prohibited under the
Copyright Laws of the United States and other countries, and may subject
you to civil and criminal liability.

IEEE-1394 device initialization
When you connect a new IEEE-1394 device to the TV and turn
it on, the device immediately announces its presence to the TV
(and other networked IEEE-1394 devices, if any), and the
™ 160HD4 AVHD) to
following device initialization screen automatically appears.
Note: With some devices, it may take up to one minute
for this screen to appear.
1. If you have connected your IEEE-1394 device to an analog
input also, use the yzx • buttons to select the input in
the ANALOG INPUT USED field; otherwise, leave it set
to "None." (See "Using analog-compatible IEEE-1394
devices" on page 22.)
2. If you want to label the device, highlight EDIT LABEL and
press ENTER.
3. Press the yzx • buttons to select a character for the first
space and then press ENTER.
4. Repeat step 3 to enter the rest of the characters.
5. Highlight SAVE and press ENTER to save the information.
Note:
• The TV may not recognize non-A/V or non-compatible
IEEE-1394 devices; however, these devices may still be available
to other compatible IEEE-1394 devices on the network.
• You may be able to use the TV's remote control to operate some
compatible IEEE-1394 devices. You must first program the
remote control to recognize the device (see Chapter 3). If you
have an IEEE-1394 Cable box or satellite receiver, you may
need to use the remote control that came with the device.
