THOMSON DTI6300, User Manual

Using Y

our 

DTR

Using your Programme Library

To access the 

PROGRAMME LIBRARY 

press the

LIBRARY

button on your remote control or option 

2

from the 

MAIN MENU

.

Initially the Programme Library will be empty, but as
you start using your DTR, it will build and show not
just the recordings that you have made or saved, but
also the TV Favorites programmes that are stored on
your DTR and available to watch at ‘anytime’.

Your DTR storage area is partitioned into two sections.
For more information on how to change the partition
sizes, please turn to page 

30

. The two sections are

arranged so that you have control over the ‘top’
section which appears first on the top section of the
menu. Here you can keep your recordings or delete
them to make more space as required. To delete a
recording, move the highlighter with the 

UP

or 

Down

arrow buttons over the programme that you wish to
delete and press the 

BLUE

button. 

When you move the highlighter into the Top Up TV storage area, you will notice that the screen
appears slightly different. There are two differences, the first and most important is the 

Days

Left

column, the second is the red Save button.

Days Left

This shows how many days the programme will
remain stored on your DTR before it is automatically
deleted and replaced with new programmes. You may
watch the programme at anytime, but if the 

Days Left

number reaches zero, you only have a few hours left
before the programme is over written. If you would
like to watch the programme, but do not have time
within the time remaining, you can move the
programme to ‘your’ storage area by pressing the

RED

button. The programme will now appear in the

top section of the Programme Library and the 

Days Left

will show 

Saved

.

There are a number of functions that are common to both storage areas: If you pause the
highlighter over a programme, that programme will automatically start playing in the small preview
window on the right-hand side of the screen. If you wish to watch the programme, press the 

OK

button. If you had previously not finished watching a programme, press the 

GREEN 

button to

resume the playback from the last watched point.

You can always access the Top Up TV programmes by pressing the Top Up TV button.

Folders

Programmes on your recorder are automatically
placed in folders. Each recording can reside in  more
than one folder, the 

ALL 

category and typically one

other genre folder, for example, Movies, Sport, Kids
etc.

To move between Folders use the 

LEFT

and 

RIGHT

arrow buttons. To Highlight a programme use the 

Up

and 

Down

buttons. To view the programme, press the

OK

button. 

Synopsis

With the highlighter over a programme / recording, pressing the 

INFO

button will pop-up a small

window with a brief summary of the contents of that given programme.

Delete

With the highlighter over a programme, press the 

BLUE

button. You will see a confirmation pop-

up to confirm that you wish to delete the programme or exit without deleting.

ICONS

There are two icons used to assist you in managing your 

Programme Library.

The 

at the end of the 

programme name

field is used to indicate that a programme has been

watched. 
The 

at the end of the 

programme name

field is used to indicate that a programme is currently

‘playing’.

Pop-ups

Finally, you need to be aware of a few pop-ups that may appear to help you with your selections.

Depending upon the way you have set-up your recorder, or if you
have not set-up enough storage space on your DTR or you have
simply run out of space, your DTR will prompt you that there is not
enough space to store your selection. If this happens, you will need
to delete some of your recordings if you wish to save additional
programmes.

Also, a similar pop-up may appear if you are saving a programme
that will limit the storage space for any future recording. In this
instance you may save this programme, but you should also go to
the 

Planned Recordings

menu to make sure you have enough space

and if necessary delete old recordings.
