Cancel Current Recordings

To cancel a recording in progress, press DEVICE to display the Device Selection menu and highlight the source of the recording. Confirm that the icon for VCR (or recording device) is in the Connection Section next to the TV icon. Press the CANCEL button. The icon for the VCR (or recording device) will disappear from the Connection Section to confirm the cancellation.

Default Digital (Record) Device

If multiple recording devices are available in NetCommand, this setting allows you to choose the device to use when recording digital programs. A digital recording can be made on either a digital or analog device, although the quality will not be as good if recorded on an analog device. For best playback quality, record digital programs on a digital recording device.

If multiple devices were not connected and then added in the NetCommand setup, this setting will be unavailable (grayed out). Analog recordings can only be made on the one analog device connected to RECORD OUTPUT on the back of the TV (usually a VCR) and are not affected by this setting. This feature is most useful when recording from ChannelView™ (page 57) or TV Guide On Screen.

Analog Recordings

When you record a 16:9 digital channel to an analog VCR or recording device, there is a mismatch between the picture shape of the 16:9 ratio of the source and the narrower 4:3 ratio of the analog recorder.

•For playback on this widescreen TV, choose the anamorphic picture display and ensure that the TV screen format is set to standard (see the section on TV formats in this Owner’s Guide).

•For playback on an older style 4:3 TV, choose the cropped display to remove the top and bottom

sections. This setting does not affect recording from analog devices, analog channels, or 4:3 digital channels.
