Chapter 3: Using the Recorder’s Features
Deleting Programs, Music and/or Pictures from the Digital Media Recorder
Your Digital Media Recorder has 40 GB of memory — which translates to approximately 40 hours of video programs, dependent upon the recording quality you’ve chosen; up to 10,000 JPEG files; or 1,000 mp3 files that can be saved onto the hard disk drive. You can see the status of the space left on the hard disk drive in the Video menu. The information is only an approximation based on current Recording Quality setting (page 44). When you want to delete programs, music, or pictures to make more space available, follow the instructions below:
1.From the main menu, select the menu that corresponds to the content you want to delete (Video, Music, or Pictures), and press the OK button.
2.Use the arrow buttons on the remote control to highlight a video program, mp3 song, or JPEG picture.
3.Press the right arrow button to highlight the box to the right of the content list (it has arrows at the top and bottom to indicate that you can see choices by pressing up and down arrow buttons on the remote control).
4.Press the down arrow button until Delete appears. Press OK (a screen appears asking you to confirm that you want to delete the program).
Saving Program, Music, and/or Pictures from the Digital Media Recorder to a VCR
If your hard disk drive is full, you can always connect it to your VCR’s Input Jacks and copy the content onto a videocassette. For instructions, go to page 60.
