3: Setting up the PC

Introduction

Settings for the PC will be different depending on the operating system. Please read the user’s manual of your PC for
details. The following instructions are for Windows

When using the PC with an always-on internet connection, the setting is normally already at “Auto”
(automatically obtained IP address). Therefore, no change in setting is required. Proceed to “4: Starting
Network Navi”. If “Network Navi” does not start, change the setting for the recorder according to the setting
of the PC “TCP/IP properties”.

Setting up the PC (when directly connecting to
the PC)

1 “Control panel” → “Network connections” →

click “Properties” of “Local area connection” →
click “Properties” of “Internet protocol (TCP/
IP)”.

Select “Use next IP address” to set the IP address
and subnet mask.

When setting has been previously established,
keeping a record of the original setting prior to any
changes is recommended so that it can be
changed back.

®

XP.

Notes

• If you are connected to the internet, you may not be able to
connect if you specify the IP address. Change to the
original settings when connecting to the internet.

• When using Mac OS X, open “Apple Symbol” → “System
environment setting” → “Network” → “TCP/IP”. Set the
setting method to “Manual input” and enter the IP address
and subnet mask.

with Net Dubbing. A drive that was not expected at the
release of the recorder may be recognized in the future. In
such a case, the drive column may show a number such as
#5 when connecting to a future model. This is not a
malfunction. After you check which drive it is, perform the
dubbing. In addition, there may be some future model in
which dubbing may not be supported to some drives.

• In Net Dubbing, only copying can be done. Therefore,
dubbing cannot be done for copy-prohibited titles and
chapters of copy-once programs.

• A DVD-R/RW (Video mode) cannot be used as a dubbing
destination or origin.

• Net Dubbing is a feature of High speed dubbing. Rate

• Net Dubbing will be interrupted if a timer recording starts
during Net Dubbing. Redo Net Dubbing after the
completion of the timer recording.

• When using the Net Dubbing feature, noises may occur on

of Net Dubbing is recommended when recording from
these inputs is not being performed.

In addition, Net Monitor is not guaranteed to work for future
versions of QuickTime®.

Note

The unauthorized recording, use, distribution, or
revision of television programs, videotapes, DVDs,

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.

Net Monitor Settings

The following settings are required to use Net Monitor.

1 Click “Setup Menu” in the Main Menu.

2 Establish the settings for “Net Monitor”.

Size of Video window:

Set the monitor window size of Net Monitor.

Average bit rate:

Set the speed of the data transfer from the recorder

If you set the average bit rate to high, you will have
a better image than if you set the monitor window
image to low. However, the data transfer may be
unstable due to the communication load.

Buffering time:

When transferring audio and video data from the
recorder to the PC, a streaming format is used. For
streaming, you will need to set the wait time
(buffering time). The time will be set according to
the processing speed of the PC and the network
environment. If the images do not play properly,
adjust the buffering time.

3 Click on the “Save” button.

The content of the setting will be saved in the

Notes

• The aspect ratio displayed in the monitor window is 4:3.

• The screen in the monitor window displays a wider area than that of a TV. Therefore, the outer area may flicker.

• If you close the Virtual Remote Control or browser during monitoring, the monitor window will also close.

• You can view the monitor window for up to 9 continuous hours. After 9 hours, the monitor will stop temporarily and then it will

resume automatically.

• If you make changes to the “Network Setting” using the recorder, the monitor will stop temporarily, and then it will resume
automatically.

• If you display the monitor window while the recorder is displaying the PinP screen, the PinP screen will terminate. In addition,
the PinP feature will not be usable while the monitor window is displayed.

• If the program that is broadcasting is a bilingual program, Net Monitor will output the main audio to the L channel and
auxiliary audio to the R channel regardless of the sound multiplex setting.

• When you play the title that was recorded using a dual-monaural setting on the recorder, the audio output will follow the
sound multiplex setting during the play.

Notes

• Depending on the software for sending timer recording
setting email, a part of the first line may go to a new line if
it is long. If this occurs, timer recording setting content will
not be read correctly.

• If there is an excessively large number of email messages
on the mail server, the timer recording setting email may
not be received.

• When the recorder does not have an always-on internet
connection, timer recording setting using email cannot be
done.

• In some cases, a timer recording might not be possible
depending on the start time of the timer recording and the
recorder’s operating mode.

• An email account compatible with POP3 or APOP is
required as a destination of timer recording setting email.
You cannot use an account such as a cell phone email
address in which you cannot send or receive email from
your home PC.

• If you receive email using a PC which is set to
automatically delete email from the mail server, the
recorder may not receive the timer recording setting email.

• Only one timer recording setting can be done per email.

• If an email message begins with the same format as the
timer recording setting email, it may be regarded as a timer
recording setting email and may be received by the
recorder instead of the PC.

• If the email timer recording keyword is entered incorrectly,
you will not be able to set a timer recording. In addition, if a
symbol is part of the email timer recording keyword, it will
cause an error. Therefore, you will not be able to set a
timer recording.

Introduction

Useful features of timer recording
setting using email

Receiving timer recording setting email

The recorder receives timer recording setting email on
the POP server at 15-minute intervals.

Note

• The recorder cannot receive timer recording setting email
while displaying a GUI on a connected TV. Therefore, a
prolonged GUI view on the TV may cause failure in timer
recording setting using email.

When setting is successful (setting completion
email)

When the recorder receives the timer recording
setting email, you can receive email that notifies
you of setting completion or setting failure. Make
the following settings.

• Set “Completion Notice” to “Secondary Address
and sender”, “Return to sender”, or “Secondary
Address”.

• If “Completion Notice” is set to “Secondary Address
and sender” or “Secondary Address”, enter the
email address (secondary address) at which you
would like to receive the notice in “Secondary
Address”.

Notes

• If there is an error on the recorder side, you will not be
able to set a timer recording.

• The following are possible errors:

- The start time of the recording is less than 15 minutes
from the present time.

- The end time of recording is more than 15 minutes from
the present time and the start time was more than 8 hours
ago.

• Email cannot be sent or received while the GUI is
displayed on the TV screen connected to the recorder.

Check remaining space on HDD using email

The remaining space on the internal HDD can be
checked using email.
Enter the following in the body of the email.

e.g.
