Using the Main Menu

Make sure you have completed all the connections. (See pages 8~17.)

Use the Main Menu to change information you provided during the on-screen setup of the Hard Disk Recorder, and to use some of the Hard Disk Recorder’s main features.

Press the MENU button on the Hard Disk Recorder remote control to display the Main Menu.

Replay Zones

Go here to record special television programming organized in categories for you. In this frequently updated area, you’ll find the best of what’s on in an easy-to-use lineup.

Replay Guide

Go here to watch your recorded shows. Every show that the Hard Disk Recorder records is stored in the Replay Guide until you delete it or it’s replaced by the next recorded show. Also listed are the upcoming recordings you have set.

Channel Guide

To record any show that is available to you, start from the Channel Guide. The Channel Guide is an interactive, on- screen program guide that lists seven days of television information for all of the channels you currently receive.

Messages

You’ll receive a welcome message after completing the on-screen setup of the Hard Disk Recorder for the first time. Messages occasionally appear to inform you of special occurrences while using the Hard Disk Recorder. If you see that a new message has been received, highlight Message and press SELECT. Read the new message and take the appropriate action.

Find Shows

Select Find Shows to quickly locate a show for recording using a keyword search. After the Hard Disk Recorder searches for you, you can set a show for recording, or create a theme channel based on your search.

Setup

Add or Remove Channels: Here you can add or remove channels from the Hard Disk Recorder Channel Guide. This is handy for removing channels you don’t subscribe to, or channels that are inappropriate for some audiences.

Change Default Record Options: Change the current recording options that the Hard Disk Recorder uses to record shows.

Change Display Brightness: You can use this feature to adjust the brightness of the Hard Disk Recorder screens.

Change Dialing & Input Settings: Here you can change the information you provided during the on-screen setup process if you later add or remove video equipment, or change the telephone number used to connect to the ReplayTV Service™. See “Changing Your Setup Later On” on page 20 for more on the setup process.
