4.3.4 Editing recordings
As well as copying recordings, your PVR allows you to edit recordings that are stored on the hard disk. So, for example, if you set a recording to start a few minutes early, you could remove the extra material at the start of it. Or if you just want to keep a small part of a programme, you can cut it out and save it, then delete the rest.
Because of the way that recordings are broadcast and saved on the PVR, the actual points at which edits are made may vary by a few seconds from the position you select on screen; for perfect results, you may find it easier to edit recordings on your computer.
To edit a recording, start playing the programme, and find the location where you would like to make the edit. Press the Play button to display the progress bar. While the progress bar is on screen, press the White button on the remote control, and the red marker will start flashing between red and blue.
Now, use the left and right arrows to move either forwards or backwards in the program. The part of the progress bar between the point where you first pressed the White key and the current position will turn purple.
When you have highlighted the section of a program that you wish to either remove or save, press the Blue button, and this message will appear on screen.
