When a DVR Timer is manually created to record a specific channel across a particular
range of time, the DVR treats the entire time period as a single recording, regardless of how
many different programs were recorded during the period. In the DVR List, the recording will
be listed under the title of the first program recorded within the period, marked with a (+)
symbol. The titles of other programs recorded within that time period will be displayed when
the listing is selected. These multi-program recordings will NOT allow each program to be
viewed, deleted or protected individually. While viewing such a recording, you will need to
start viewing at the beginning of the first program and then advance or reverse within the
recording to reach the different programs. Deleting the recording will erase all the programs
within it as a group.

Canceling or Modifying a Recording

To cancel a scheduled recording, or to cancel or extend a recording in-progress, access the
Timers Menu to edit the Timer for the recording as described in the Timers section.

Viewing and Recording Simultaneously

The DVR530 can tune into two separate channels simultaneously, allowing you to record
one program while you view another.

If you have scheduled a recording event, the specified program(s) will be recorded no
matter what you are viewing during the scheduled time. While the DVR records your
program, you will still have complete control of the DVR530 to view live programming and
previously recorded programs, with all the same control to pause, reverse and advance, as
well as to use the IPG, Options Menu and DVR List. Only Impulse Recording will be
unavailable while another program is being recorded.

While your program is being recorded, all other features of the DVR530 are still available, so
you may view any live or recorded programs, with the full control to pause, reverse or
advance you would have while not recording.
