Adding IEEE 1394 Devices Automatically
Name for 1394 Device Screen
Figure 29
If you choose to add the discovered IEEE 1394 device,
the Name for 1394 Device screen appears. Enter a new
name for the device or use the default name that appears
automatically. The name used in this screen is the name
that appears in the Device Selection menu.
The DV option applies only to digital camcorders at
this time and is typically detected automatically by the
TV. If your camcorder uses DV formatting but the box is
unchecked, add the check mark manually.
To use the analog capability of some IEEE 1394 devices,
such as some DVCRs and cable boxes, check the Analog
Connection box.
• Some DVCRs, for example, can record and play
as VHS or S-VHS in addition to D-VHS. This
allows you to play analog rental tapes or analog
tapes from your established library or to make
analog recordings from an antenna or cable
system.
• Some cable boxes with IEEE 1394 connections
require an analog connection for on-screen
guides and emergency notices.
Note: You never need to check both the DV and Analog
Connection check boxes for a device.

Adding IEEE 1394 Devices
Automatically
Addition of IEEE 1394 devices is a special case of
NetCommand setup because the devices are detected
automatically. You review, edit, and delete these devices
through NetCommand just as you would any other
devices.
When you connect an IEEE 1394 device to the TV network
and power it on, the new device automatically announces
its presence. This process is called device discovery and
can take up to one minute.
Some non-audio/video or incompatible IEEE 1394 devices,
such as personal computers (PCs), may not announce
their presence to the TV. The TV is not able to show these
devices in the Device Selection menu. They can, however,
coexist and are still available to other devices on the IEEE
1394 network that are compatible with these non-audio/
video devices.
Try using the Cable/SAT/DTV position of the TV remote
control to see if it can control operation of IEEE 1394
cable boxes and satellite receivers. If not, use the remote
control that came with the device.
New 1394 Device Screen
Figure 28
When your TV discovers a new IEEE 1394 device, the
New 1394 Device screen appears. Select “Add” or “Do
Not Add” depending on whether or not you want the
device added 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® menu.
