Recording Programs
The DVR530 uses an internal hard disk with 160 gigabytes of storage capacity, able store
over 130 hours of Standard Definition programming or more than
25 hours in High Definition
programming. The DVR will automatically record each program in the proper format, and is
capable of storing programs in both formats simultaneously. There are several methods of
recording programs using the DVR.
When any Event Timer is scheduled, including DVR Recordings, a red clock icon
will appear on the front panel of the DVR530 receiver.
While the DVR530 is recording a program, the four blue bar lights on the front
panel of the receiver will cycle continuously.
Impulse Recording
While viewing any program, press the record button on the remote control to begin
recording that program. You will be prompted to choose between recording the program until
the scheduled end time or to select different parameters by opening the Event Timers
screen.
Scheduled Recording
You may schedule the recording of programs using a DVR Timer (See section on Timers). All
recorded programs are accessed using the DVR List, but the way the DVR Timer is created
can affect the way the programs are displayed within the DVR List:
Recording by Program VS. Recording by Time: When programs are recorded one-by-
one, by setting individual DVR Timers, each program will have its own entry in the DVR List,
even if multiple successive programs are recorded from the same channel. This means that
you will be able to view, protect and delete each program independently of all others.
