Net Monitor
A TV program which is being broadcasted or has been recorded can be viewed on a PC that is
connected to the recorder. (In other cases, Net Monitor may not operate normally.)
Net Monitor can be used to stream content (live tuner or recorded content) from the recorder to the PC
for viewing in your home office.
The following conditions are required to use Net Monitor.
®
• QuickTime
(v 7.0.2) must be installed on the PC
connected to the recorder.
Caution
• The operation of Net Monitor is not guaranteed on all PCs.
In addition, Net Monitor is not guaranteed to work for future
®
versions of QuickTime
.
Note
• The features of Net Monitor are to be used on a PC that is
connected within the same subnetwork as the recorder.
If multiple PCs are connected to one recorder, the features
of the Virtual Remote Control and Net Monitor can be used
on only one PC.
The unauthorized recording, use, distribution, or
revision of television programs, videotapes, DVDs,
and other materials is prohibited under the
Copyright Laws of the United States and other
countries, and may subject you to civil and criminal
liability.
Note: Certain factors including, without limitation, the
available bandwidth and quality of your internet
connection, and the connection between the recorder and
your PC, may cause a delay and/or error in the displaying
of content on your PC. Such delays and/or errors, if any,
may be more pronounced when the recorder is connected
via a wireless LAN.
