Direct VCR Recording from an Antenna or Cable Source:

When your VCR is the recording device, pressing REC (record) on the TV’s remote control will function the same way as pressing the record button on the VCR’s remote control or front panel.

To record directly from antenna or cable:

1.Press DEVICE on the TV’s remote to display the Device Selection menu. Highlight the traditional VCR and press POWER to turn on the VCR. If necessary, press GUIDE to select the input the VCR is on, such as Antenna input (or line input).

2.Press ENTER to switch the TV to the VCR.

3.Select the correct channel for recording on the VCR and then press REC to start recording. You will need to manually stop the recording at the end of the program

To record from ANT-1, ANT-2 or other devices, see NetCommand Controlled Recordings or refer to the TV Guide On Screen® User’s Guide.

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 change the tag to “Record No More.”

Restrictions for Traditional VCRs

Your VCR should be connected directly to the RECORD/OUT and VIDEO outputs.

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

If NetCommand is set up, the TV 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.

You cannot record from source devices connected to the TV Component 1–3 or HDMI 1 or 2 connections.
