NetCommand® Controlled Peer-to-Peer Connections
What is a Peer-to-Peer Connection?
A peer-to-peer connection allows the IEEE 
devices in your HDTV Receiver network to talk to
each other without the further need of HDTV Receiver
intervention once the peer-to-peer connection is
established.
For example, the HDTV Receiver can setup a
connection for an AV Disc or DVCR that sends a
recorded program to an IEEE  monitor in another
room. NetCommand will establish the connection
between the two devices. Once the connection has been
established, the HDTV Receiver can be turned off or
used to watch another device. Recording from Ant-
DTV to a DVCR is also a peer-to-peer connection. In
this case the HDTV Receiver is one of the devices in the
peer-to peer connection.
Analog or traditional (non-digital) devices can not be
used for peer-to-peer connections.
Setting up a Peer-to-Peer Connection
(Figure 17)
A peer-to-peer connection is a current connection and
cannot be setup as a delayed connection.
To establish a peer-to-peer connection:
. Display the Device Selection menu.
. Switch the HDTV Receiver to the source device and
channel if device selects channels.
. Press the CONNECT button.
. The Record/Connect screen displays.
. Select the destination device to which you want to
connect, for example, another IEEE  device.
. Select the duration of the connection (how long you
want the connection to last). The peer-to-peer
connection is immediately established and continues
for the selected duration. When the duration is up,
the peer-to-peer connection is automatically ended.
. Press CONNECT again to begin the peer-to-peer
connection.
Multiple peer-to-peer connections can occur
simultaneously, sometimes with the same source device.
Also, please note that peer-to-peer connections are NOT
listed on the Record List screen.
Cancelling a Current Peer-to-Peer
Connection
When a peer-to-peer connection has been established,
you can cancel the connection by highlighting the source
device in the Device Selection menu. Confirm that the
icon for the peer-to-peer connection is in the Connection
Section next to the TV icon. Press the CANCEL key.
The peer-to-peer connection will end and the destination
icon will be removed. If there is more than one peer-to-
peer connection, the connections will all be canceled.
