Connecting a home network

Networking the TV with your home Internet e-mail service to enable remote scheduling of recordings and reminders

You can network the TV with your home Internet service to remotely schedule recordings and reminders by sending an e-mail to the TV.

To use this feature, you must have Internet e-mail service in your home and two separate e-mail addresses (your personal e-mail address and a second e-mail address for use solely by the TV). Contact your ISP (Internet Service Provider) for these services.

Note:

¥This feature is only for remotely scheduling recordings and reminders. You will not be able to access the Internet through the TV.

¥To configure your TV for remote scheduling, see Chapter 11
