Managing Your Personal Video Library

A recorded program remains in your personal video library until you decide to delete it, unless you have it set to delete when space is needed. Your DVR will record and store up to 40 hours of standard definition programming and up to 40 hours of High Definition programming*. To make the most efficient use of DVR storage space, follow these guidelines:

To Delete Recordings

From the program information screen, select the Icon to delete the recording, or select the Icon to modify the Delete Priority. For example, you can tell the guide to delete the recording when space is needed.

Copy Recordings to A VCR Tape

After you watch a recording, decide to either erase it or keep it permanently by transferring it to a VCR tape.

When you copy recordings to a VCR tape, make sure that the recording is displayed on the TV screen for the entire time the recording is being copied. If you change channels or display guide screens during the copying process, your tape copy will contain these images and you will not have a complete copy of the recording.

1.Connect the Cable Out or OUT 1 (TV) connection on the back of the DVR to the Cable IN of your VCR.

2.Put a tape in your VCR.

3.Access your list of Recorded Programs.

4.Use the 5634buttons on your remote to highlight a program from your list of Recorded Programs. Press OK to select a program.

5.From the Information Screen, select to resume play from where you left off or select to restart from the beginning.

6.Start recording on the VCR when playback begins.

7.As the recording plays, it is taped to your VCR.

Note: Refer to your VCR User Manual for specific instructions on using your VCR.

To help you manage your personal video library, i-Guidewill advise you with an on-screen notice when the available memory gets low or full.

If recording space becomes full during a recording, the recording will stop. Make sure you have enough recording space to record the entire program before you begin to avoid missing part of the program.

* Recording HD programing requires a DVR connection to a HD television.
