* The ID is case sensitive. The ID tag is required only if you created an ID in the
“ID” field and set the “ID Required” field to On. If you set the “ID Required”
field to Off, you do not need to include the ID tag line in your request e-mail.
See “Description of fields in the E-mail Scheduling Setup window” on pages
115–116.
You can use the e-mail scheduling feature to schedule and delete
recordings and reminders by sending a “request 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 107–109, and in section F, pages
113–116, 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):

IEEE1394 ports (see page 26); or
2) a D-VHS recorder connected to one of the TV’s IEEE1394
ports (see page 26); or
3) a VCR connected to the TV’s analog A/V OUT terminals
(see item 4 on page 11 for the location of the A/V OUT
terminals; see Chapter 2 for various VCR connection
examples).
