If you choose Save, then a new file will be saved containing just the section of the programme that you highlighted, and the original programme will be un- altered. This can be used, for example, to extract just a part of a programme.

If you choose Cut, the portion of the programme that you se- lected will be removed from the original recording, and will be lost. You can use this to remove extra material at the end or beginning of a recording; if you remove material in the mid- dle, you may see some interference around the position where you made the edit.

4.4 Additional playback and viewing features

Before we look at some of the more advanced functions that can be used in conjunction with a PC, here are some more use- ful features for playback and viewing.

4.4.1 Playing back multiple recordings

Your PVR can play back several recordings in a row, without intervention. You could use this to play back a series of short cartoons for children, or to provide constant entertainment at a party.

To play back a selection of files they must all be in the same folder in your archive. To select the files that you want to play, move to the first one and press the Red button. A number 1 will appear to the right of the name. When you select the next, it will be numbered two, and so on.
