How to connect compatible IEEE1394 Devices
Connecting compatible IEEE1394 devices is simple using this TV equipped with IEEE1394. 
A secure digital interface is provided to other digital home entertainment units, such as a DTV, 
a Set-Top Box, an AVHDD, a digital VCR, a MPEG Camcorder. 
1
Connect the IEEE1394 
cable from the jack of the 
component with IEEE1394 
capability, such as a 
Set-Top Box or a Digital 
VCR to the IEEE1394 jack 
on the TV.
2
Press the D-Net button on the
Remote Control.
3
Select the D-Net (IEEE1394)
Compatible device. 
NOTES
•To access D-Net (IEEE1394) in the menu, see page 117.
•The IEEE1394 interface is equipped with a copy protection standard called Digital Transmission
Content Protection (DTCP).
•The name of 1394 Jack may be different according to the manufacturer (i.e., DTV LINK or i.LINK).
•The supported video format is MPEG-2 Digital video. Other digital video formats (e.g. DV 
format...) are not supported. 
For audio, Dolby Digital and MPEG Digital Audio are supported, other digital audio formats 
(e.g. MP3, DTS) are not supported. 
•Because IEEE1394 is an evolving technology, it is possible that some or all of the connectivity 
features of a device you connect to the TV through the IEEE1394 port may not operate.
•There may be a single IEEE1394 jack depending on the specifications of the external device.   
•If only a single IEEE1394 jack is supported, connect the cable to the last jack.
What’s D-Net?
This refers to a home network consisting of devices supporting D-Net (IEEE1394) connections 
(such as digital VCRs and Set-Top Boxes) for digital audio and video data.
The D-Net (IEEE1394) standard for the High Performance Serial Bus is a serial data transfer protocol
and interconnection system.
D-Net (IEEE1394) interface is capable of supporting various high-end digital A/V applications,
such as A/V device control and signal routing, Digital Video (DV) editing, home
networking.

Connection Options
There are two different connection options for connecting D -Net (IEEE1394) compatible devices. 
Select the most suitable option according to your network of audio/video products.
The Direct Device-To-Device Option
D-Net (IEEE1394) permits the chaining of devices, unlike 
analog audio and video connections where each device
needs to be individually connected to the TV. This allows
you to connect your D-VHS to your 1394 Set-Top Box
only, then connect the Set-Top Box to the TV. 
More IEEE1394 devices can be added to the chain as
needed. Each video device can be viewed on the TV’s 
D-Net and information can be sent from any IEEE1394
device to other compatible devices.
The Hub Connection Option
D-Net (IEEE1394) also permits connecting devices using the TV as a hub. Each device is capable of 
sending information, which may include audio and video, to any other device on the network.

4-Pin and 6-Pin Connectors
Two different types of connectors are used for IEEE1394 terminals and cables, a 4-pin and 
a 6-pin.
The 4-pin connector sends digital audio, digital video and digital
control signals to and from devices. The TV has two available 4-pin
connection jacks, of which two are at the back.
The 6-pin connector also sends digital audio, video and control 
signals, but can also send low voltage electrical power. There are 
no 6 pin connectors on this TV.
It is not possible to directly connect a 6-pin connector to a 4-pin jack,
and vice versa. In order to connect a 6-pin device to a 4-pin device,
an adaptor or adaptor cable is required, easily purchased from an
electronic or computer store.
Connecting a 6-pin device (such as a camcorder) directly to the TV, (if it is designed to receive 
electrical power from another 6-pin device) will require that the camcorder is directly connected to
the AC supply, or that the camcorder’s battery power is used.

Operating Tips
1) When the screen is switched to the TV program. 
- When you select the first button, the TV button, in the Device List, it switches to the TV program. 
- Although you have selected another device from the Device List, if detecting a video signal from 
the device fails, the “Connection failed” message appears and the screen automatically switches 
to the TV program.
- When the 1394 connection to the selected device is disconnected, the screen automatically
switches to the TV program. If you reconnect the device, the reconnected device is automatically 
selected.
2) AVHDD, DVHS and camcorders automatically stop when you select another device while watching
one of the devices. 
3) Some devices may be displayed in the Device List as ‘UNCONTROLLABLE’.
This may happen when the device does not contain the proper information or it cannot read.
4) Some devices may not be recognized and may be disconnected from the 1394 connection when 
they are turned off. 
5) When connecting another TV, the TV may transmit *Digital TS which appears in the TV or another 
picture (e.g. Only RF may be transmitted, although DVHS is being displayed on the screen) 
depending on the TV specifications.
6) When connected to another STB, some STBs may not be displayed in the Device List due to device
specifications or defects when multiple devices are connected.  
Even if the device is displayed in the Device List, the connection to the device may fail. Otherwise,
due to STB trouble, the video stream may be stopped while recording, or the recording may fail. 
In this case, you have to discover which device is defective by removing the devices one by one.
7) When connected to the AVHDD
- To rotate the AVHDD disc, there may a time delay. 
- Some AVHDDs may provide two playbacks or recordings simultaneously. In this case, there 
may be two Play icons in the Program List and 2 AVHDD buttons in the Target List. 
- If you copy a program from the Program List, the selected AVHDD program is played on the TV 
screen and recorded using the device selected from the Target List.
Even if the program reaches its end, the recording device does not stop automatically. 
- Some AVHDDs may display the wrong program information after recording, depending on the 
situation. 
- If AVHDD is recording, the program is automatically played which is currently being recorded, 
when it is selected from the Device List. (PVR function)
- For the Go to recording position button operation, the difference between recording and play 
time must be longer than 30 seconds.
8) When connected to DVHS
- Some devices support an automatic connect function (I-mode). These devices may cause a 
malfunction when multiple devices are connected. 
- Some DVHS devices may not record properly when multiple devices are connected and the mode
is I-mode.
9) When connected to a camcorder
- Depending on if the camcorder is in Tape or Camera Mode, the control panel changes. 
If the camcorder turns off the power (power saving mode), the camcorder may disappear from 
the Device List.
*What is Digital TS: DTV packages digital data (video, audio and data) into 188 byte units using
the MPEG-2 algorithm and transmits the data unit unlike for analog. It is called Digital Transport
Stream or Digital TS.
