You can use the e-mail scheduling feature to schedule and delete
recordings and reminders by sending an e-mail to the TV’s
e-mail address from any PC.
The four commands the TV will accept are ADD, DELETE,
GET, and HELP, as described in this section.
If you have not already done so, follow the instructions in
sections A and B , pages 108–110, and in section F, pages

the network (in this order):

2) a D-VHS recorder connected via IEEE1394
3) a VCR connected via the analog RECORD OUT (VIDEO
