The recording Setup screen is where you tell the TV what, where, and when to record. There are two ways to open the Recording Setup screen:

select Record from the Record menu.

press REC on the remote control when viewing a recordable source.

Your TV can stop recordings automatically and it can send the signals from one external playback device to another external recording device. It is also able to convert digital channels and IEEE 1394 device signals to analog signals. These converted signals can be recorded on NetCommand-compatible analog VHS and S-VHS VCRs connected to the RECORD OUTPUT/VIDEO and AUDIO outputs on the back of the TV.

You can schedule the recording to take place at a later time and program the recording duration for a minimum of 30 minutes and a maximum of six hours (in 30-minute increments). The default is one hour.

When a digital recording is being made, the TV can direct the signals to the recording device using the IEEE 1394 cable. In the case of an analog recording, (as to a VCR) the TV converts the digital signals to analog format and sends the analog output to the VCR through the RECORD OUTPUT jacks.

During the recording, you can view a different device or power off the TV. See Appendix I for more information.

To prevent recording of unwanted material while recording to a VCR or A/V disc, press PAUSE to temporarily stop recording. Press PAUSE again to resume recording.

You cannot record from an analog channel or device or a VHS or S-VHS VCR to a digital recording device such as a DVCR or A/V Disc.
