Manually Record by Time or Channel

Manually Record Time/Channel lets you schedule a recording on a specific channel at a

specific time, just as you would with a VCR. You can also create a manual repeat

recording for every week, every day, or every weekday. To create a manual recording:

1. To choose the Recording Type, use the UP and DOWN arrows to select “One Time,”

or “Repeating.” Then press the RIGHT arrow.

2. To choose the day(s) for the recording, use the UP and DOWN arrows to change the

current selection. If you chose “Repeating,” you can also choose to repeat the

recording on a specified day of the week, on every weekday (select “Every M-F”) or

every day (select “Every Day”).

3. To choose a channel, use the UP and DOWN

arrows or enter a number from the number

keypad. Press the RIGHT arrow.

4. To set the hour, minute, and am/pm for the

start and stop time, use UP/DOWN arrows to

change the current selection. Press the

RIGHT arrow to move to the next step, LEFT

arrow to move back.

5. To schedule the recording, press SELECT. A

confirmation screen appears. The recording will be named with a “best guess” based

on program guide listings for that time and channel. This will help you find your

program later in the To Do List or Now Playing List.

Record by Time or Channel is

useful for times when you want to

record only a portion of a program, for

example, the opening monologue of a talk

show.
