In the recording Setup screen 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 a different external 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.

The default recording device is the TV Disc, which can record both digital and analog programs. When a digital recording is being made, the TV can direct the same source signals to an external recording device using the IEEE 1394 cable.

IMPORTANT

See Appendix I for a list of recording and viewing combinations available for this TV.

If you have a digital source and make an analog recording 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.

The TV can convert analog programs to digital format. This allows you to record analog programs to a digital recording device (TV Disc, A/V Disc, DVCR).

During recording, you can:

view a different device

view a different channel (in most cases)

power off the TV.

When recording to a VCR or A/V disc, press PAUSE to temporarily stop recording and press PAUSE again to resume recording. Use the PAUSE key in this manner to selectively record only the program segments you want.

1.Set the TV to the source you want to record.

2.Press REC (record) on the TV remote or press ENTER if the Record menu is displayed.

3.Press ADJUST or to select the channel, device to record to, duration time, start time (press ENTER after selecting hour and minutes to set the time) and day.

4.Select Add and press ENTER to add the recording to the record list. If your selection is successful, a confirmation message will be displayed. If you pick overlapping times, day(s), or destination devices, you will see a message stating there is a conflict.

5.To exit, press HOME on the TV remote after all recordings have been added.

IMPORTANT

Recordings scheduled on this screen are independent of recordings scheduled through TV Guide On Screen®. Recordings scheduled with TV Guide On Screen have priority if there is a conflict between the two recording schedules.
