2. To transfer files from the digital receiver to your com-

puter, press the right arrow button (→).

3. To transfer files from your computer to the digital re-

ceiver, press the left arrow button (←).

At the top of the panel, you will see a message that says Turbo

Off

. Turbo mode is a way of speeding up the transfer of files to

and from the digital receiver. You can click the circle to the left
of the message to turn turbo mode on or off.

Turbo mode makes transferring files faster, but the digital re-

ceiver stops responding to commands from the remote control.
If you want to use the digital receiver while transferring, or if
any scheduled recordings are due to start, you should not use
turbo mode.

NOTE

You cannot play back the recordings with a regular MPEG
player on your computer because they are formatted differ-

ently from the standard MPEG format.

Visit
