OPERATING THE SET-TOP (cont.)
Using the set-top’s DVR functions
The set-top has an internal hard disk that you can use to record and play back television programs,
giving you much more control of your viewing experience. For example, you can pause live television
and resume viewing from the point at which you left off. You can record many more hours than you
can by using a VCR or DVD recorder. There are lights on the set-top’s front panel to show when
recording and play-back are taking place. With the set-top you can:
• Pause live TV
• Instantly replay live TV
• Fast forward up to the point of live TV
• Watch a scene in slow motion
• Rewind through a program you have been watching
• Record high definition digital pictures (as well as the regular standard definition)
• Record one program while watching another
• Record two programs while watching a previously recorded program
• Schedule the set-top to record a program or a whole series
• Fully manage any stored recordings
• Back up any digital recordings to a VCR or DVD recorder
• Retain full control over any parental viewing restrictions you have set up
You control the set-top’s DVR functions using the remote control; consult the information supplied
by the cable service-provider for more details. Also read the operating instructions that are supplied
with the remote control.
NOTES
The exact functionality of the
DVR (digital video recorder) in
the set-top depends on the on-
screen program guide. For more
details, consult the information
supplied by the cable service-
provider.
Do not confuse recording to the
hard disk with recording to a
separate VCR or DVD recorder,
as mentioned on page 39.
The DVR functions will not
work if the set-top becomes
overheated. The internal hard
disk will be temporarily disabled.
Refer to the set-top’s ventilation
requirements on page 4.
