Using Bookmarks 

Your DVR is capable of marking specific spots in a recorded program, called Bookmarks. It is an easy way 
for you to mark your spot in a program that you might not be able to watch in its entirety. 
 
As you are watching a recorded program, press the Blue button on the remote control to add a 
bookmark. You will notice a black line in the status bar.  
 

 

 
When you return to the program, you can press the Browse/Arrow (Up/Down) arrow keys on the 
remote control to advance to your bookmarked spot. If there are multiple bookmarks, keep pressing the 
Browse/Arrow (Up/Down) keys until you are to your desired place in the program. 
 
Another example of when bookmarks would be helpful would be in the case of a television movie that 
you keep and watch over and over. You could bookmark the beginning and end of commercials so that 
you could skip over those sections of the movie.
