10) When multiple devices are connected, some devices may appear and then disappear periodically 
in the Device List. This is because some devices malfunction when multiple devices are connected.
If this occurs, you have to discover and remove the defective device from the connection by 
removing the devices one by one.  
11)  When multiple devices are connected, the response time may be relatively long when selecting a 
device. This may happen when there is a device(s) that malfunctions and degrades the 1394 
connection speed. 
At this time, some of the functions of AVHDD or DVHS may not work, and the stream connection may 
fail. If this occurs, you have to discover and remove the defective device from the connection by 
removing the devices one by one.
12) Copy Protection
- You can record a Copy-Free, or Copy-One-Generation screen. 
- Although you cannot record a Copy-No-More, or Copy-Never screen, you can view it through 
another device.
- If you change the channel to a ‘copy never’ channel while recording a ‘copy free’ channel, the 
recording is automatically stopped in some devices. Even if the program was recorded, you will not
be able to view the recorded ‘copy never’ channel. At this time, therefore, the user has to manually 
stop the recording. 
13)  When multiple devices are connected, and a device malfunctions while playing DVHS or AVHDD, 
the user may experience interrupted screen play. 
14)  When playing and recording a program simultaneously using AVHDD, and the program is copy 
protected, the program may not play depending on whether the AVHDD device supports 
simultaneous copy protection.
15)  When AVHDD or DVHS is being played, and you press the Pause button, some products may show 
the No Signal or Weak Signal message on the TV screen instead of a still picture as there is no 
video stream from the product. 
16)  If the number of connected IEEE 1394 devices exceeds 10, it may cause abnormal operation.  
- Yes and Play may not operate smoothly, if you play after recording.
- Yes and the Play, Record and Copy functions do not work properly.
- Disconnect the malfunctioning device and then try again.

Recording Tips
1) Recording using the Target List while also watching the screen being recorded. 
- Check that the AVHDD and DVHS devices are connected. 
- Select a source device to be recorded and press the Target button. 
- Select a device to be recorded from the Target List. 
2) Recording a program in the Program List of AVHDD using another device. 
- Select an AVHDD program to be recorded from the Program List and press Copy. 
- Select the target device from the Target List. 
NOTES
•In this case, the selected program is automatically played and displayed on the TV screen and 
the target device automatically starts recording. 
•Controlling a device with another devices remote control or through manual operation, may cause a
malfunction when controlling a device through the TV. When copying a program, the recording
will not stop automatically when the program reaches its end.
•Although you can make a recording to connected devices regardless of copy protection, you
may not be able to watch the copy-protected recording as the playback picture may be distorted.
•When recording an HD program on cable TV or from satellite, programs on some channels may 
not be recorded if the program exceeds the limit of the allowable range of recording devices such 
as D-VHS.
•If a recording is in process and another command is issued while the ”Recording...” D-Net Notice 
is displayed on the screen, the recording may fail.
Tips on stopping recording 
1) In general, you can instantly evaluate the current recording device through the Target List. If you 
select a device that you wish to stop, a message appears asking if you really want to stop recording.
2) For DVHS. If you select a recording DVHS from the Device List, a message appears asking if you really
want to stop recording. 
3) For AVHDD, if the program currently being recorded is selected, you can stop the recording using the 
Recording stop button. 
NOTE 
•Controlling a device through another device or through a manual operation may cause a malfunction
when controlling a device through the TV.

Possible Solution
Only DTVs, STBs, AVHDDs, DVHSs and MPEG 
camcorder IEEE 1394 devices are controllable.
Other devices will display “UNCONTROLLABLE” in
the device list. 
Some supported devices may display as
“UNCONTROLLABLE” due to an initialization error.
➔If a device is supported but is displayed as 
“UNCONTROLLABLE”, reconnect the 1394 cable.
If this does not work, this is because the 
information about the device is unreadable due 
to an internal error.
A device, which has experienced an error
during initialization, may malfunction and affect the
operation of other connected devices. Other devices
may not be displayed in the list.
➔Disconnect and reconnect the1394 cable. 
➔Remove a device which does not guarantee 
compatibility when multiple devices are connected. 
This message appears when there is a problem with
the connected device or the 1394 cable. 
Initialization might fail when multiple devices are 
connected due to limitations of some connected
devices.
➔Check that the 1394 cable is making a loop and 
reconnect the 1394 cable.
Check that cables are correctly connected to all 
connected devices.
This message may appear due to an operating 
error of the 1394 port of a particular device.
IEEE 1394 supports a limited number of screen 
connections. This message appears when the limit has
been exceeded.
➔Stop unnecessary operations such as playing, 
recording, etc. and try it again.
Turn the auto screen connection function (I-mode) 
of DVHS devices OFF, and retry.
If a camcorder is connected and it is not currently 
being used, turn it off or disconnect it from the 
1394 network.

Possible Solution
This message appears when the connection speed of
the connected device and the device selected from the
Target List are different when copying data.
➔Connect a low speed device between the two 
devices. (See figure)
A 1394 device has a maximum connection 
speed which will be marked near the 
IEEE 1394 connector with an “S” number 
(i.e., S100,S200,S400). The higher the number, 
the faster the maximum connection speed. 
This TV has a maximum connection speed of S400.
This message appears when you try to record a
device, which is currently being recorded manually or
by another device, through the TV.
➔Stop the recording device and retry.
