DELETE request e-mail
The DELETE request allows you to cancel an existing
scheduled recording or reminder.
The required tags for a DELETE request e-mail are (in this

to Off]
• COMMAND DELETE
• INPUT
• CHANNEL
• DATE
• START TIME

HELP request e-mail
When you send a HELP request e-mail to the TV, you will
receive a reply e-mail that contains helpful information about
formatting a request e-mail (syntax, definition of the various
commands, etc.).
The only required tag for a HELP request e-mail is HELP.
* The ID is case sensitive.
The ID tag is required only if you created an ID in the “ID” field and
set the “ID Required” field to On. If you set the “ID Required” field
to Off, you do not need to include the ID tag line in your request
e-mail. See “Description of fields in the E-mail Scheduling Setup
window” (- page 71).
Receiving an e-mail from the TV
If the e-mailed request was successful, the reply e-mail from
the TV to your PC will contain one of the following (or similar)
messages, depending on the command you sent to the TV:
• ADD SUCCESS
• DELETE SUCCESS
• GET SUCCESS
• HELP SUCCESS
If the e-mailed request was not successful, the reply e-mail
from the TV to your PC will contain one of the following (or
similar) messages, depending on the command you sent to the
TV:
• FAILED – SCHEDULE CONFLICT
The new recording or reminder you attempted to schedule
conflicts with an existing one that was previously scheduled.
If you want to schedule the new recording or reminder, you
will have to DELETE the existing one first, and then ADD
the new one.
• FAILED – COULD NOT UNDERSTAND “Line x”
The e-mailed request has an error in the line of text
referenced in the error message. Correct the text and resend
the e-mail.
• FAILED – NO DEVICE AVAILABLE
Make sure you have a recording device connected to the TV
and that all cables are properly connected.
• FAILED – MISC ERROR
Make sure all devices and cables are properly connected and
that the text in the body of your e-mail is correct, and then
send the corrected e-mail to the TV.
