The Record Defaults screen lets you set the recording options you want the
receiver to use every time it does a recording. The receiver’s default settings
work best in the vast majority of cases, but you may want to change them to your
personal preferences.
Record Defaults
When recording a series, the
Episode Type
gives you the option to record
first run only, repeats only, or both.
The
Keep at Most
option lets you decide how many episodes you want to
keep: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 10 or All. If you select “All Episodes” for a show that
appears many times in the guide, you may find it uses disk space rapidly.
The
Keep Until
option lets you keep a recording until you delete it or until
the disk is full, in which case the DVR can delete it automatically if the
disk fills up. A recording that is labeled “Keep Until I Delete” will never be
deleted until you do it manually; if all of your recordings are labeled that
way and the disk fills up, no new recordings will occur until you manually
delete some of your “Keep Until I Delete” recordings.
Finally, the
Start
and
Stop
options let you adjust the times of your
recordings to ensure you don’t miss a thing. Keep in mind that starting
early and ending late on all of your recordings may create more recording
conflicts than if you started and stopped on-time (according to the
program guide schedule). If you find a particular series runs habitually late
or early, it is better to adjust that series using the program’s Info screen
rather than set the recording defaults, which would affect all of your DVR
recordings. Press MENU, select “Manage Recordings,” then select “Series
Manager” (or Prioritizer). Select the program you want to adjust, then
select “Series Options” (or Rec. Series).
