Directory Path Setup
On the selected hard drive, the Video Blaster Digital VCR software needs a default directory in
which to store recorded programs. The default hard drive location is the “C” drive, or largest
available drive, as noted above. The setup software will automatically create and use a direc-
tory named “MPG” on that drive unless you specify another location. You can also choose an
alternate directory name if desired.
To use a directory name other than the default “MPG”, select the default name in the Directory
Path text box and type in the desired new name.

Select the Amount of Recording Space
Use this option to select how much of the selected default recording drive’s free space is used
for video recording. Digital VCR will allocate this free space now, during the installation pro-
cess, to guarantee that the space you need for recording is always available. No other applica-
tions can claim this space once Digital VCR has allocated it. Be sure to leave some free hard
disk space available for the installation of new applications, and for the data files created by
other applications in your system.
To set the recording space amount, drag the slider to the desired value. The on-screen graph-
ics update automatically to reflect your changes. You will be able to make changes later. The
Main Menu gives you access to the Storage settings page, where you can update your disk
usage settings as required.
See “Storage Configuration” on page 74.

Time Shift Amount
A portion of the recording space reserved in the steps above is allocated as the Time Shift
buffer. This setting selects the amount of time (in minutes, using the highest quality recording
mode) that you have available to use to replay live television signals. For example, a setting of
“30 minutes” will allow you to rewind a show that you are currently watching, and replay any
portion broadcast within the last 30 minutes.
To set the Time Shift amount, drag the slider from left to right. The Free Space and Time Shift
amounts shown in the dialog box will update automatically.
