Taping an HD broadcast to an analog VCR is seamless with the 3250HD. The set-top simultaneously displays the HD image and downconverts it to SD (standard definition) through the NTSC outputs.

The optional VCR Commander Service integrates the interactive TV program guide with the VCR so that consumers simply point-and-click to setup and record programs.

The 3250HD makes it easy to maximize the screen image for non-HD channels. For a widescreen HDTV set, simply click “stretch” and then “zoom” from the Quick Settings menu on the 3250HD set-top.

To maximize the screen image for a standard 4:3 HDTV set, simply change the scan rate to 480i using the Quick Settings menu on the 3250HD set-top.
