Problem
• Cannot record to or from the IEEE 1394 device,
including Dub recordings.
Possible Solution
• To initiate a recording to IEEE 1394 device, first
select the source device to record, such as Ant-DTV
(NOT the recording device). Then press the REC
key. The Record/Connect menu displays allowing
setup of the recording.
• The source device for the recording is not powered on.
• For a dubbing, the destination device for the recording
is not powered on.
• The wrong media, (analog tape for digital recording, or
digital tape for the analog recording) is in the device.
• Either the program is copy protected, or if there
are multiple subchannels and one of the programs (not
necessarily the program requested) is copy protected.
• The program has already been recorded once
and the copy protection only allows one recording.
• Unapproved source device for copy protected material.
• The recording device can not decode the copyright
signal included in the signal source (try another device
if available).
• The playing device (for dubbing) does not support
copyrighted material.
• Source for recording is copyrighted.
• Too many IEEE 1394 devices in network. Insufficient
bandwith available. Disconnect unused devices
• Source Device has higher speed (S 400) than record
device. If possible, reverse devices, play in the slower
device and record in the faster device.
• DEVICE MENU button does not display a menu. • The IEEE 1394 device does not provide a menu.
• Cannot control the IEEE 1394 device from the • Device may not support the command.
Transport Menu. • Selected function is gray (such as Record for a DVD,
which does not support the Record function.)
• An IEEE 1394 device has been plugged in but
does not appear in the Device Selection menu
(not discovered).
• The IEEE 1394 connection to the TV or another device
is not secure or is loose.
• The IEEE 1394 device is not powered on.
• Some device in the IEEE 1394 chain is not powered -
turn on all the devices.
• The device discovery can take as long as a minute
to initiate.
• IEEE 1394 cable is too long (maximum of 15 feet
between devices).
• The IEEE 1394 device uses an incompatible protocol
and cannot be discovered.
• The IEEE 1394 plug does not fit into TV (too large). • The wrong type of IEEE 1394 cable has been used.
Obtain a 4-pin type or a 6 pin to 4 pin adaptor cable
from an electronic or computer store.
