Record To Setup
Figure 12
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.
You cannot record from an analog channel or device
or a VHS or S-VHS VCR to a digital recording device
such as a DVCR or A/V Disc. Also, if you select an
analog channel, you will not be able to record to a
digital 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 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. When an analog recording is being
made, the TV will direct signals to the recording using
the monitor audio/video outputs.
During the recording, the TV can be powered Off. If
the TV is powered On, it must be tuned to the source
that is being recorded.
