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 Pass recordings 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 49) to give
the first one higher priority than the
second. Voilà! 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.
