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 (usually a VCR) and are not affected by this setting. This feature is most useful when recording from ChannelView™ (page 53) or when set up from TV Guide On Screen® using the REC key..
Analog Recordings
When you record a 16:9 digital channel to an analog VCR or recording device, there is a mismatch of the picture shape between the 16:9 ratio of the source and the narrower 4:3 ratio of the analog recorder.
•For anamorphic 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 cropped 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.
Setting Up Analog Recordings with TV Guide On Screen®
When setting up a recording using TV Guide On Screen, note that:
•You must select the desired recording device in the TV Guide On Screen Record Options menu.
•Analog programs can only be recorded to an analog recording device, such as a VCR.
•Analog programs cannot be recorded to digital devices such as A/V discs or DVCRs.
•The destination recording device for analog programs must be the analog device connected to the TV’s RECORD OUTPUT jacks.
IMPORTANT
When setting up analog recordings in TV Guide On Screen, you must set the destination recording device as the analog device connected to the TV’s RECORD OUTPUT jacks.
