Chapter 7: Using the THINC™ home network feature
G. Using e-mail scheduling
You can use the e-mail scheduling feature to schedule and delete recordings and reminders by sending a “request 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 (- page 59), and in section F (- page 68), before proceeding.
When a recording is scheduled via e-mail, the recording device used will be the VCR connected to the TV's analog A/V OUT terminals (see item 4 on page 9 for the location of the A/V OUT terminals; see the separate Installation Guide for various VCR connection examples).
E-mail parameters
Note: Some e-mail clients automatically insert e-mail signatures, which the TV will try to process. These may generate unwanted error messages.
•The maximum allowable e-mail size is 16 KB. E-mails over 16 KB will be automatically deleted.
•E-mails sent to the TV cannot contain any attachments. The TV will automatically delete any e-mail with an attached file.
•E-mails can be formatted either Plain Text or Rich Text Format (HTML style).
•E-mails sent to the TV that are not properly formatted, are from the wrong e-mail address, or have the wrong ID (if specified) will be deleted.
•All e-mails sent to the TV will be deleted eventually.
Note:
•Toshiba is not responsible for any damage or loss caused directly or indirectly by the failure of the e-mail scheduling feature to record content intended to be recorded.
•Toshiba is not responsible for, nor has any control over, any content recorded and/or viewed using the e-mail scheduling feature. Further, the e-mail scheduling feature is not meant to be used for unauthorized recording and/or viewing of copyrighted works.
•The unauthorized recording, use, distribution, or revision of television programs, videotapes, DVDs, and other materials is prohibited under the Copyright Laws of the United States and other countries, and may subject you to civil and criminal liability.
Sending a request e-mail to the TV
To send a request e-mail to the TV:
1 Format the e-mail following according to the instructions under “Formatting a request e-mail” below.
2 Send the e-mail to the TV.
3 After the TV receives and processes the e-mail, the TV will send a reply e-mail indicating whether the e-mailed request succeeded or failed. See “Receiving an e-mail from the TV” (- page 75).
Formatting a request e-mail
Recognized tags
When you send an ADD, DELETE, GET, or HELP request e-mail to the TV, the TV will recognize only the tags listed below. These tags (and their accompanying data) must be listed in the body of the request e-mail in the following order:

*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).
