The recording Setup menu is where you tell the TV what,
where, and when to record. There are two ways to open
the Recording Setup menu:
• by selecting Record from the Record menu.
• by pressing REC on the remote control.
Your TV is able to start and stop recordings automatically
and send the signals from one external playback device
to another external recording device. It is also able to
convert digital channels and IEEE 1394 device signals to
analog signals that can be recorded on NetCommand-
compatible analog VHS and S-VHS VCRs connected to
the record audio and video outputs on the back of the TV.
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 6 hours (in 30-minute
increments). The default is 1 hour.
When a digital recording is being made, the TV will direct
the signals to the recording device using the IEEE 1394
cable. In the case of an analog recording (as to a VCR)
the TV converts the digital signals to analog format and
sends the analog output to the VCR through the RECORD
OUTPUT jacks.
