NetCommand® Controlled Recordings

Record To Setup

Figure 8

Your TV is able to start and stop recordings automatically and 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 that can be recorded on NetCommand compatible analog VHS and S-VHS VCRs. 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.

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 6 hours (in 30 minute increments). The default is 1 hour.

When a digital recording is being made, the TV will direct the signals to the recording device using the IEEE 1394 cable. When an analog recording is being made, the TV will direct signals to the recording device.

This connectivity is crucial for those looking to enhance their entertainment systems with the latest technology. Additionally, the WS series supports various audio-video formats, giving users flexibility in how they enjoy their content.

Another key feature is the incorporation of a 3D-ready capability, making these TVs future-proof for a time when 3D content was gaining traction. This aspect attracted cinema enthusiasts who wanted to bring an enhanced experience home. The models also include a built-in digital tuner, allowing users to access over-the-air broadcasts without needing an external box.

The WS-65615 and WS-65515 models additionally boast a stylish and slim design that fits well within modern living spaces, combining aesthetics with functionality. Their lightweight construction allows for easier installation and setup.
