Connecting External Video Sources
CONNECTING A COMPONENT SOURCE WITH
DIGITAL INTERFACE CAPABILITY TO IEEE1394
TERMINALS.
1. Connect the IEEE1394 cable from the output of the
component with IEEE1394 capability, such as a
Digital VCR or AVHD (External Hard Drive) Digital
Recorder, to the IEEE1394 input terminals shown
below. IEEE 1394 allows the plasma television and
the external device to communicate with one
another.
When using IEEE1394 connections, you
enable video and audio digital data exchange
between a compatible device. This connection also
enables you to control basic equipment functions
(such as VCR play, rewind, fast forward, stop, etc.)
from your TV On-Screen Display.
2. Press the INPUTS button on the Remote Control.
3. Select the IEEE1394 option (see page 31).
NOTE: 1. With IEEE1394 connection, video and
audio will be received by the TV. It will
enable you to control the D-VHS from the
TV IEEE1394 menu (see page 3
1).
2. The IEEE1394 interface contains the copy
protection standard called 5C or Digital
Transmission Content Protection (DTCP).
