Setting the Recording Parameters
You can set the recording parameters
manually to suit your specific needs.
Click the center Settings button while
in the pre-recording screen.
Rename Allows you to change the filename before the recording begins.
Auto Stop
Rec
On, Off. If set to On, the AV400 will stop recording after the
duration set in the next line. For example, you want to record
a television show for two hours but do not want to stay around
for the two hours to stop the recording. In the screen above, a
recording that you start manually will last for 2 hours. If set to Off,
the recording will continue until you click on the stop button or
until the entire hard disk fills up.
Duration This is the duration of time your recording will last if Auto Stop Rec
above is set to On.
Pre-record This is a safety margin added to the beginning of a scheduled
recording which was set via the My Yahoo! ® TV scheduler of your
personal calendar. It affects ONLY those recordings. This is just in
case the clocks between your AV400 and the broadcast station are
different or if the broadcast station starts earlier than expected.
Post-record This is a safety margin added to the end of a scheduled recording
which was set via the My Yahoo! ® TV scheduler of your personal
calendar. It affects ONLY those recordings. This is just in case the
clocks between your AV400 and the broadcast station are different
or if the broadcast station runs overtime.
Source Composite, S-Video, Auto. You can choose which video input
you want the AV400 to use. Normally, with a good video signal,
you can set it to Auto, and the AV400 will scan the two inputs to
see which one is receiving video.
Format Auto, 4:3, 5:3, 16:9, 2.35. This is the aspect ratio of the screen
that the AV400 will record. You can set this manually, but in most
cases you can just leave it on Auto.
