Setting up Recordings

Figure 7

Through NetCommand, you can automatically start and stop recordings and send signals from one playback device to a recording device. Recordings can be made on recordable devices connected to the TV or to the internal TV Disc. The TV Disc is an IEEE 1394 hard disk drive and is available for all channels from CableCARD™, Ant 1, Ant 2, and IEEE 1394 devices or tuning devices (cable boxes or satellite receivers) connected to inputs 1–3. The capacity of the TV Disc is 160 GB on models WD-62827/WD-73827 and 250 GB on models WD- 62927/WD-73927.

The TV can convert digital channels and IEEE 1394 digital signals to analog signals that can be recorded on NetCommand-compatible analog VHS and S-VHS VCRs. It can convert analog channels to digital signals for recording on the TV Disc or other digital recording device.

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. During the recording, you can view a different device or power off the TV.
