NetCommand TM Controlled Peer-to-Peer Connections
What is a Peer-to-Peer
Connection?
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 AV Disc or DVCR that sends a recorded
program to an IEEE 1394 monitor in another room.
NetCommand TM 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.

Setting up a Peer-to-Peer
Connection
(Figure 1)
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 TV 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 1394
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.
