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 57), and in section F (- page 67), 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.
