Adding IEEE 1394 Devices Automatically
When an IEEE 1394 device is connected into the TV network and is powered ON, the new device will
automatically announce its presence. This is called device discovery and can take up to 1 minute. Some
non-audio/video or non-compatible IEEE 1394 devices, such as Personal Computers (PCs), may not
announce their presence to the TV. The TV will not be able to show these devices in the Device Selection
menu, however, they will still be available to other devices on the IEEE 1394 network that are compatible
with these non-audio/video devices.
IEEE 1394 cable boxes and satellite receivers may require that you use the remote control that came with
those devices. For some compatible devices, the Cable/DSS/DTV position of the TV remote control may
be able to control operation.

(Figure 1)
When your TV discovers a new IEEE 1394 device,
the New 1394 Device screen will appear. Selecting
Add will include the device in the Device Selection
menu. Selecting Not Added will not add the device
to the Device Selection menu. If the IEEE 1394
device does not provide audio and video, you may
not want to add that device to the TV's Device
Selection menu. Devices that were discovered
but not added to the Device Selection menu will
still be listed in the Review screen of the Edit
NetCommand TM menu.
Name for 1394 Device Screen
(Figure 2)
If you choose to add the discovered IEEE 1394
device, the Name for 1394 Device Screen will
appear. You can then name the device or use the
default name that appears automatically.
Some IEEE 1394 digital devices, such as some
D-VHS VCRs, can also operate as analog devices.
For example, some D-VHS VCRs can also record
and play in VHS or S-VHS. This feature allows you
to play analog rental tapes or analog tapes from
your established library or make analog recordings
from antenna or cable systems. To use the analog
capability, check the Analog Connection box. Also,
you will need to connect the device to the TV using
video or S-video cables.
