NetCommand uses the Transport menu to control the VCRs, DVDs, IEEE 1394 AV Discs, digital VCRs, and similar devices. If you choose to turn off this menu when viewing the devices, the transport buttons (rewind, play forward, stop, pause and record) on the media center’s remote control will continue to operate these devices. In the Device Selection menu selecting a VCR or DVD Player will automatically display the Transport menu. You can re-display this menu by pressing DEVICE MENU.

Select Transport menu functions by pressing ADJUST or and then ENTER. For example, to pause playback, press ADJUST or to move to PAUSE, then press ENTER. If a function is not possible, such as record for a DVD Player, the Transport menu button will be grayed out.

Default Digital Device

If multiple digital 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 Monitor Out (usually a VCR) and are not affected by this setting. This feature is most useful when recording from ChannelView™ (page

57).
