Adding IEEE 1394 Devices Automatically

New 1394 Device Screen

(Figure )

When your TV discovers a new IEEE  device, the

New  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  device does

not provide audio and video, you may not want to add

that device to the HDTV Receiver’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® menu.

When an IEEE  device is connected into the HDTV Receiver network and is powered ON, the new device

will automatically announce its presence. This process is called device discovery and can take up to  minute. Some

non-audio/video or non-compatible IEEE  devices, such as Personal Computers (PCs), may not announce

their presence to the HDTV Receiver. The HDTV Receiver will not be able to show these devices in the Device

Selection menu, however, they can co-exist and will still be available to other devices on the IEEE  network that

are compatible with these non-audio/video devices.

IEEE  cable boxes and satellite receivers may require that you use the remote control that came with those

devices. For some compatible devices, the HDTV Receiver remote control may be able to control operation using the

VCR, DVD or Audio position of the remote control.

If you choose to add the discovered IEEE  device,

the Name for  Device Screen will appear. You

can then name the device or use the default name that

appears automatically.

Some IEEE  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 HDTV Receiver using video or S-video

cables.
