Controlled Peer-to-Peer Connections
What is a Peer-to-Peer Connection?
Figure 1
A peer-to-peer connection allows the IEEE 1394 devices
in your TV network to talk to each other without the
further need of TV intervention once the peer-to-peer
connection is established.
For example, the TV can setup a connection for an
A/VDisc or DVCR that sends a recorded program to an
IEEE 1394 monitor in another room. NetCommand will
establish the connection between the two devices. Once
the connection has been established, the TV 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 TV 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.
Canceling 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 for the same device, all of the connections will
all be canceled.
NOTE: 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.

Setting up a Peer-to-Peer Connection
A peer-to-peer connection is a current connection and
cannot be setup as a delayed connection.
To establish a peer-to-peer connection:
1. Press CONNECT on the TV remote.
2. Press DEVICE on the remote control to see the
source device choices.
3. Press ADJUST or to select the source device.
4. Press ENT(er) to confirm selection and return to the
“Record to” section.
5. In the “Record to” section, review the destination
device (example: DVHS) and duration. Change if
necessary.
6. Press CONNECT a second time to start the session.
