Using the TV's Features
•
Don't change channels when you are recording because recording will automatically stop. If you
tune away from the digital program you're recording, you may either cause the 1394 output to stop
sending the program (e.g., if you tune to an analog channel) or to record something unintended (a
different digital channel).
•
A dialogue box appears when you press the RECORD button to let you know the 1394 component is
recording the channel that you selected.
•
You can select a default recording preference: record all subchannels on a major channel or record
only a specific subchannel.
Recording just the subchannel saves space on the AVHDD. Also, a DVCR may not be able to record
more than one subchannel because of the DVCR's data rate.
However, if you're recording to an AVHDD or DVCR and choose to record only to a specific
subchannel, you may see a blank screen when playing back at first. You'll need to use the CH+ or
CH- button to go through the subchannels before you get to the subchannel you recorded. This
happens because the data of all the subchannels is recorded, but not the content—only the content
(or complete signal) for the specified subchannel is recorded.
•
The program name, channel, track number, DTVLink-model name, and elapsed time for 1394
recordings appear in the channel banner (some information only available for AVHDD and not for
DVCR). To access the channel banner, press INFO on the remote control.Press the up/down arrow
buttons to scroll through the track numbers (recordings) in the channel banner.
Note: Program tracks can be deleted by using the CLEAR button when the track to be removed is
selected. Use the arrow button to select yes in the alert panel and press OK.
For the different subchannels, press the CH+ or CH-. In addition, pressing the left arrow allows
instant replay and pressing the right arrow skips ahead on an AVHDD.

To do a 1394 timer recording, schedule it through the Record/Wake Timer screen. Once the timed
recording is set up, the TV automatically makes a timed 1394 recording if the channel is digital, no
matter what signal source is selected. The recording takes place every day for the duration that is
selected in the Record/Wake menu.
