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.
