Default Digital (Recording) Device

If you have more than one digital recording device con- nected, this option lets you specify which to use as the default. The device specified here is the digital record- ing device to use when initiating a recording with the (Record) key from within ChannelView™.

This option remains grayed out (unavailable) until you connect a digital recording device. After the device is

detected and named, highlight the box and press to select the recording device.

Note that digital programs can be recorded on either a digital or analog device. For best playback quality, however, record digital programs on a digital recording device.

Analog Recordings

When you record a 16:9 digital channel to an analog VCR or recording device, there is a mismatch between the 16:9 ratio of the picture shape from the source and the nar- rower 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 chan- nels.

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 program that was originally tagged Record Once, NetCommand will change the tag to Record No More on the new recording.

VCR Recording

Setting Up Analog VCR 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.

If you have both analog and digital recording devices, always verify that the analog device is the default

device before starting an analog recording with the

(Record) key.

•The destination recording device for analog record- ings must be the analog device connected to the TV’s

MONITOR OUT jacks.

IMPORTANT

•Analog sources can be recorded only to analog devices.

•Analog sources cannot be recorded to digital devices.

IMPORTANT

When setting up analog recordings in TV Guide On Screen, set the destination record- ing device as the analog device connected to the TV’s MONITOR OUT VIDEO/LEFT/ RIGHT jacks.
