box. In the File menu you can: 

Rename your recorded video file. 

To rename a video file, find the file you would like to

rename

, highlight it 

with your mouse, click and hold the right mouse button. Go down

to Rename and then you can type in a new name. Remember:you must keep the MPG
extension on the file.

Play a video file previously recorded: 

find the file you would like to play, highlight it

with your mouse (one click of the mouse button) and click Open. Then click the Play
button.

Delete recorded video files which you no longer want 

(and which consume hard disk

space). Click your 

right mouse button 

on the video file once, go down the menu and

click on 

Delete

.

“Pause”-Mode

Clicking the Pause button or OTP (One touch Pause) button on the WinTV-2000 application
starts the Pause mode.  The Pause Menu will drop down.

“Pause” buffer

The Pause buffer is space on your hard disk where video is stored during the Pause mode.
The maximum amount of time which your TV program can be delayed is dependent upon
how much storage space you have set for the Pause buffer.

Pause

Clicking the Pause button or OTP (One touch Pause) button makes WinTV 2000 to start
recording into WinTV's Replay Buffer.  It takes about 

10 seconds

for the Replay Buffer to be

initialized and for Pause to become effective.

Unclicking the 

Pause

button will cause the audio/video program to start playing from the

point where the button was originally pushed.

Most

WinTV 2000 functions are active while in the 

Pause

or 

Pause Live

mode. For exam-

ple, you can change volume, resize the TV window, go into "no-title mode", etc.

While in Pause mode, the Video Position bar shows the amount of the Replay Buffer which
is filled with video. For example, if the Video Position indicator shows halfway, it means
that half of the Replay Buffer is filled. If you find you cannot Pause as many minutes as you
would like, increase the size of the Replay Buffer.

While in Pause mode, the A/V stream is always saved in the Replay Buffer. To stop saving
the A/V stream in the Replay Buffer, you must exit the Pause mode by clicking the TV
mode button.

Replay button

While in the Pause mode, hitting the Replay button acts like the Instant Replay you see on
TV broadcast sporting events: the audio/video goes back in time and you repeat what you
have previously seen. Each click of the Replay button causes audio/video to go back 10
seconds. For example, if you want to repeat the audio/video you saw 10 seconds ago, you
would click the Replay button once. If you want to see the video you saw one minute ago,
you would need to 

click the Replay button six times.

For extended replay times, you might find it more convenient to grab the Video Position
indicator control bar and move it to the left. Once you let the control bar go, audio/video
starts to play (it might take a few seconds for the WinTV2000 application to start playing).
You might have to move the Video Position indicator to the left and right to find the desired
spot to start replaying audio/video.
While Replaying, your audio/video program continues to be recorded in the Replay Buffer.
Therefore, if you have clicked the Replay button 3 times (

so that you are replaying the

audio/video seen 30 seconds ago

), the video you see in the WinTV window will be 30 sec-

onds behind the "live" audio/video program.

Skip

Clicking the Skip button will skip the video ahead 10 seconds.

Rewind button

Clicking the Rewind button while playing video will rewind the recorded video. Clicking the
Rewind button again will continue the playing.

SlowMotion

Clicking the SlowMotion button while playing video will play in Slow Motion.

Clicking the SlowMotion button again, will continue playing normally.

Fast forward button

Clicking the Fast foward button one time will fast foward your video at 

2X speed

. Clicking

the Fast Foward button two times will fast foward your video at 

8X speed

.
