Recording Options
include:
Record Quality.
The choices for Video Recording Quality are Basic, Medium, High,
and Best. The default setting is Best, (Best looks great, but keep in mind that it takes
up more space). These settings are described on page 60. (This option is not available
once a recording starts.)
Keep At Most.
This option sets the maximum number of episodes to be saved—useful
for keeping only the most recent nightly news or only a few of your kids’ daily
programs. The default setting is 5. (This option is available only for a repeating
recording.)
Show Type.
The choices are “Repeats & first run,” “First run only,” which records
only new episodes, and “All (with duplicates).”
Keep Until.
You can change this setting from “Space needed” (the default setting) to
“Until I delete.” (This option is available only for a repeating recording.)
Keep At Least.
You can set the minimum amount of time the recorder keeps a
recording. The default setting is “Until Space Needed.”
The Overtime Scheduler™ consists of these two options:
Start Recording.
You can choose to start recording up to ten minutes before a
program begins. The default setting is “On-time.” (This option is not available once
recording starts.)
Stop Recording.
You can set a recording to continue—for a few minutes or up to
three hours—after it’s scheduled to end. For example, you can extend a recording of a
sports event and be sure to catch the whole game—even if it goes into overtime. The
default setting is “On-time.”
Are two of your favorite programs on
at the same time? If you use
Recording Options, you can create two
Season Passes for the same time. Set the
first one to record only First Run episodes;
set the second to record every episode.
Use the Season Pass Manager (described
on page 48) to give the first one higher
priority than the second. Voila! As long as
the program information is correct, when
reruns of the first program air, your
recorder will ignore them and record
episodes of the second program.
