:: Using Manual Record
With Manual Record, you can record shows that do not fit into normal programming
blocks, such as sporting events, music videos, 24-hour news streams, or when you only
want to record a few minutes of a show. This feature also allows you to record your
home videos from a video camera or VCR so you can watch them using ReplayTV.
Recording by date, time and channel
Select Manual Record from the Main Menu and follow the on-screen instructions.
Choose single or repeat recording, date, time, and channel. You will also be able to
record from an input other than the current input.
Recording home videos from a video camera or VCR
1 Select Manual Record from the Main Menu and choose Single Recording .
2 Set the date and time you want the recording to begin. Continue to the screen where
you choose which channel to record from, and press Display.
3 Choose the input source to which the video camera or VCR is connected. See “Connecting a Video Camera or VCR to
ReplayTV” on page 10 for more information.
4 Turn on your video camera or VCR before the scheduled recording time you set up.
5 ReplayTV will begin recording at the scheduled time you set up. Once the recording is completed, go to the Replay Guide to
watch your video.
Changing the Default Recording Options
If ReplayTV does not require you to set recording options when you sched-
ule a show recording, the show will be recorded using the Default Record
Options. Setting the recording options on this screen means that pressing
the Record button once in the Channel Guide applies the Single Record-
ings settings, and twice applies the Repeat Recordings settings. The Qual-
ity and Store in category settings apply to all shows you record. To change
the recording options:
1 Press the Menu button on the ReplayTV remote control.
2 Select Setup .
3 Select Default Record Options .
4 Adjust the options.
5 Select Done .
