Copy-Protected Material

When attempting to record copy-protected material, the Record functions of the NetCommand and IEEE 1394 systems may be prevented or stopped. If you have a recording that is tagged “Record Once”, NetCommand will not allow the recording to be moved.

If turned On, the media center must be tuned to the source device.

•Your VCR should be connected directly to Monitor Output Audio and Video.

•The VCR must be set manually to “Line Input”. Display the Device Selection menu, highlight the VCR and press GUIDE to change VCR inputs.

•The media center can select channels on compatible cable boxes for recordings. Leave the cable box turned on.

•If the source device or recording device does not have separate power On and Off features, then leave that device powered On.
