NetCommand®-Controlled Recordings
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.
The TV can convert digital channels and IEEE 1394
device signals to analog signals that can be recorded on
NetCommand-compatible analog VHS and S-VHS VCRs.
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.
