There are two options available to change, the
Guard time and the rewind buffer size. Use the UP
and DOWN arrow buttons to move between the
two options and the LEFT and RIGHT arrows to scroll
through the available values for that option.

A guard time is a small amount of time added to the start and end of a recording to help protect
against programmes starting slightly ahead of schedule or more typically over-running their
scheduled finishing time. There is obviously a small penalty for this feature which is that you will
use up more space for each recording with a guard time set. The available settings are O

1, 3

or 5
5 minutes. As you can see the default setting is OFF to maximise the available disk space for
recordings.

Your DTR automatically records and buffers the channel you are currently watching. The size of
this record buffer is set to 30 minutes. This means that you can pause and rewind the channel
you are watching back by 30 minutes, or by the amount of time you have set as the P

V buffer size. As with the guard times, this obviously takes up space on your Hard disk drive for
recording other programmes so if you do not use this feature you can turn it off to increase the
available space for recordings. The available settings are O

If while watching a programme you decide to record it, your DTR will use as much of the buffer
as is available to add to your recording in an attempt to record the whole of the programme from
the start.

Occasionally, events may occur that your DTR stores for your information. For example, your
DTR is capable of having its software upgraded automatically using the same transmission
media as the programmes themselves. If you have
any messages waiting to be read, a light on the
front of your DTR will come on. Also, in the M
