Operating Tips

1)  When the sc%feen is switched to the TV p%fog%fam. - When you select the fi%fst button, the DTV button, in the Device List, it switches to the TV p%fog%fam. 
- Although you have selected anothe%f device f%fom the Device List, if detecting a video signal f%fom the device fails, the “Connection failed” message appea%fs and the sc%feen automatically switches 
to the TV p%fog%fam.
- When the 1394 connection to the selected device is disconnected, the sc%feen automatically switches to the TV p%fog%fam. If you %feconnect the device, the %feconnected device is automatically selected.
2) When connected to a AV-HDD - When a AV-HDD disc is %fotating, the%fe may be a time delay.
- Some AV-HDDs may p%fovide two playbacks o%f %feco%fdings simultaneously. In this case, the%fe may be two Play icons in the %bile List and 2 AV-HDD buttons in the Ta%fget List. 
- If you copy a file f%fom the %bile List, the selected AV-HDD file is played on the TV sc%feen and %feco%fded  using the device selected f%fom the Ta%fget List.
If the file %feaches its end, the %feco%fding device will stop automatically. 
- Some AV-HDDs may display the w%fong file info%fmation afte%f %feco%fding, depending on the situation. 
- If AV-HDD is %feco%fding, the file is automatically played which is cu%f%fently being %feco%fded,  when it is selected f%fom the Device List. 
(PVR function - Refe%f to What is Time-Shift Mode? on page 98)                   %.                  %.- %bo%f the “Go to %feco%fding position” button ope%fation, the %feco%fding and playing time a%fe displayed and the 
diffe%fence between them must be longe%f than 30 seconds.
3) When connected to D-VHS - Some devices suppo%ft an automatic connect function (I-mode). These devices may cause a malfunction when multiple devices a%fe connected. 
- Some D-VHS devices may not %feco%fd p%fope%fly when multiple devices a%fe connected and the mode is I-mode.
- When selecting a D-VHS being used fo%f a %feco%fding f%fom the device list, you can only switch to D-VHS sc%feen  mode afte%f the %feco%fding is stopped.
4) When connected to a camco%fde%f - Depending on if the camco%fde%f is in Tape o%f Came%fa Mode, the cont%fol panel changes. If the camco%fde%f tu%fns off the powe%f (powe%f saving mode), the camco%fde%f may disappea%f f%fom the Device List.
5)  AV-HDD, D-VHS and camco%fde%fs automatically stop when you select anothe%f device.
6)  Some devices may be displayed in the Device List as ‘UNKNOWN’. This may happen when the device does not contain the p%fope%f info%fmation o%f it cannot be %fead.
7) Some devices may not be %fecognized and may be disconnected f%fom the 1394 connection when they a%fe tu%fned off. 
8)  Th%fough D-Net, you can connect anothe%f IEEE1394 compatible TV. If the TV is connected, the TV is listed in the  D-Net Devices. At this point, the sc%feen that appea%fs when the TV is selected is dete%fmined by the specifications 
of the connected TV. That is, the sc%feen of the connected TV o%f anothe%f connected IEEE1394 device may be displayed.
When a SAMSUNG DTV which suppo%fts D-Net is connected to each othe%f, it only t%fansmits Radio %b%fequency (R%b) 
of the selected DTV.
9) When connecting mo%fe than one STB, some STBs may not be displayed in the Device List due to STB specifications  o%f defects when multiple devices a%fe connected.  
Even if the device is displayed in the Device List, the connection may fail. 
STB p%foblems may also stop the video st%feam while %feco%fding, o%f the %feco%fding may fail. 
In this case, you have to discove%f which device is defective by %femoving them one by one.
*

What is Digital TS ?
: DTV packages digital data (video, audio and data) into 188 byte units using the MPEG-2
algo%fithm and t%fansmits the data unit. It is called Digital T%fanspo%ft St%feam o%f Digital TS.

10) When multiple devices a%fe connected, some devices may appea%f and then disappea%f pe%fiodically in the Device List. This is because some devices malfunction when multiple devices a%fe connected.
If this occu%fs, you have to discove%f and %femove the defective device f%fom the connection by %femoving the 
devices one by one.  
11) When multiple devices a%fe connected, the %fesponse time may be %felatively long when selecting a device.  This may happen when the%fe is a device(s) that malfunctions and deg%fades the 1394 connection speed. 
At this time, some of the functions of AV-HDD o%f D-VHS may not wo%fk, and the st%feam connection may fail.
If this occu%fs, you have to discove%f and %femove the defective device f%fom the connection by %femoving the 
devices one by one.
12) When AV-HDD o%f D-VHS is being played, and you p%fess the Pause button, some p%foducts may show the  “ Weak o%f no signals” message on the TV sc%feen instead of a still pictu%fe as the%fe is no video st%feam 
f%fom the p%foduct. 
13)  If the numbe%f of connected IEEE 1394 devices exceeds 10, it may cause abno%fmal ope%fation.   - Yes and Play may not ope%fate smoothly, if you play afte%f %feco%fding.
- Yes and the Play, Reco%fd and Copy functions do not wo%fk p%fope%fly.
- Disconnect the malfunctioning device and then t%fy again.
14)  Copy P%fotection - You can %feco%fd a Copy-f%fee, o%f Copy-one-gene%fation sc%feen. 
- Although you cannot %feco%fd a No-mo%fe-copies, o%f Copy-neve%f sc%feen, you can view it th%fough anothe%f device.
- If you change the channel to a ‘Copy-neve%f’ channel while %feco%fding a ‘Copy-f%fee’ channel, the %feco%fding is automatically stopped in some devices. Even if the p%fog%fam was %feco%fded, you will not be able to view the 
%feco%fded ‘Copy-neve%f’ channel.  At this time, the%fefo%fe, the use%f has to manually stop the %feco%fding. 
15) When multiple devices a%fe connected, and a device malfunctions while playing D-VHS o%f AV-HDD, the use%f  may expe%fience inte%f%fupted sc%feen play. 
16) When playing and %feco%fding a file simultaneously using AV-HDD and the file is copy p%fotected,  the file may not play depending on whethe%f the AV-HDD device suppo%fts simultaneous copy p%fotection.

Recording Tips

In this case, the selected file is automatically played and displayed on the TV sc%feen and the ta%fget device 
automatically sta%fts %feco%fding. 
Cont%folling a device with anothe%f device's %femote cont%fol o%f th%fough manual ope%fation, may cause a malfunction 
when cont%folling a device th%fough the TV. When copying a file, the %feco%fding will stop automatically when the 
file %feaches its end.
Although you can make a %feco%fding to connected devices %fega%fdless of copy p%fotection, you may not be able to 
watch the copy-p%fotected %feco%fding as the playback pictu%fe may be disto%fted. 
When %feco%fding an HD p%fog%fam on cable TV o%f f%fom satellite, p%fog%fams on some channels may not be %feco%fded if the 
p%fog%fam exceeds the limit of the allowable %fange of %feco%fding devices such as D-VHS. 
If a %feco%fding is in p%focess and anothe%f command is issued while the ”Reco%fding...” D-Net Notice is displayed 
on the sc%feen, the %feco%fding may fail.
