recording, you will see the length of time of the recording in the

top left of the screen as well as a red “record” indicator. Click

on the PLAY/PAUSE button again to pause the recording. Click

Auto Stop Rec On, Off. If set to On, the AV 700 will stop recording after the duration set in the next line. For example, you want

to record a television show for two hours but do not want to stay around for the two hours to stop the recording. A

recording that you start manually will last for 2 hours. If set to Off, the recording will continue until you click on the

stop button or until the entire hard drive ﬁ lls up.

Duration This is the duration of time your manual recording will last if Auto Stop Rec above is set to On.

Pre-record This is a safety margin added to the beginning of a scheduled recording which was set via the My Yahoo!® TV

scheduler of your personal Yahoo!® calendar. It affects ONLY these recordings. This is just in case the clocks

between your AV 700 and the broadcast station are different or if the broadcast station starts earlier than expected.

Post-record This is a safety margin added to the end of a scheduled recording which was set via the My Yahoo!® TV scheduler

of your personal calendar. It affects ONLY these recordings. This is just in case the clocks between your AV 700 and

the broadcast station are different or if the broadcast station runs overtime.
