To move up from a folder, select the option labelled with two dots, at the top of the list.

To move a file from a folder back to the top level, select ‘..’ and press OK.

4.3.3 Copying recordings

Sometimes, you might want to make a copy of a recording, or just of part of it —your favourite scene from a film, for exam- ple, or a song from a chart music show.

While you’re playing a recording, just press the Record button, and your PVR will automatically start making a copy, which will be named the same as the original programme, but with (COPY) in the title. The copy will stop automatically when the programme you’re watching comes to an end, or you can stop it sooner by pressing Stop on the remote control.

You can make a copy of a long recording more quickly by start- ing to play the original recording, then pressing until the speed has increased to six times, then pressing the Record but- ton. The copy will be done at six times normal speed.

You can also use the copy function for programmes that have been recorded from pay TV channels, to create a copy that can be played without your subscription card. By playing the pro- gramme and pressing Record to make a copy, the PVR will create a new recording that is not encrypted, and will have a green $ symbol next to it in the archive list to indicate that, rather than the yellow $ that indicates a programme is en- crypted and will require a subscription card to play.

Note that copying and recording from PayTV channels may be restricted by broadcasters, and the PVR should not be used to attempt to circumvent such restrictions.
