G. Using e-mail scheduling
You can use the e-mail scheduling feature to schedule and delete
recordings and reminders by sending an e-mail to the TV's
e-mail address from any PC.
The four commands the TV will accept are ADD, DELETE,
GET, and HELP, as described in this section.
If you have not already done so, follow the instructions in
sections A and B , pages 106–108, and in section F, pages
112–115, before proceeding.
When a recording is scheduled via e-mail, the recording device
used will be the first of the following attached devices found by
the network (in this order):
1) an AVHD recorder connected via IEEE1394
2) a D-VHS recorder connected via IEEE1394
3) a VCR connected via the analog RECORD OUT (VIDEO
OUT) terminal.
