Setting up Recordings
Figure 7
Through NetCommand, you can automatically start and
stop recordings and send signals from one playback
device to a recording device. Recordings can be made
on recordable devices connected to the TV or to the
internal TV Disc. The TV Disc is an IEEE 1394 hard disk
drive and is available for all channels from CableCARD™,
Ant 1, Ant 2, and IEEE 1394 devices or tuning devices
(cable boxes or satellite receivers) connected to inputs
1–3. The capacity of the TV Disc is 160 GB on models
WD-62827/WD-73827 and 250 GB on models WD-
62927/WD-73927.
The TV can convert digital channels and IEEE 1394
digital signals to analog signals that can be recorded on
NetCommand-compatible analog VHS and S-VHS VCRs.
It can convert analog channels to digital signals for
recording on the TV Disc or other digital recording device.
You can schedule the recording to take place at a later
time and program the recording duration for a minimum
of 30 minutes and a maximum of six hours (in 30-minute
increments). The default is one hour. During the
recording, you can view a different device or power off
the TV.
