Direct Device-To-Device Style
The IEEE 1394 offers you the capability to chain devices, unlike previous audio and video connections where you
had to individually connect each device directly to the TV. For example, you can connect your DVCR to your 1394
DVD Player and then connect the 1394 DVD Player to the TV. The resulting IEEE 1394 chain will allow you to add
more devices to the chain. You will be able to see each video device on the TV’s Device Selection Menu and send
information from any IEEE 1394 device to other compatible devices.
Hub Connection Style
The IEEE 1394 also offers you the capability to connect your devices using the TV as a hub within the audio/video
network. Each device can send information, which may include audio and video, to any other device in the network.
