36 TV-On-Demand™

TV-On-Demand

TV-On-Demand lets you pause a live program, return later, and resume watching where you left off. You can view the show from the beginning, even after it has started, without waiting until the whole program is recorded.

You can quickly back up a program, watch the selected portion again, and fast-forward or skip ahead to the live broadcast. You can also export the recorded video as an MPEG (.MPG) file or an ATI VCR file.

You cannot use the Personal Video Recorder in TV-on-Demand mode — use the Export function instead (see To export recorded video on page 38).

To start TV-On-Demand

Click the TV-On-Demand (upper) button or the Pause (lower) button in the TV control panel.

If you click the TV-On-Demand button, the button and the control panel change to TV-On-Demand mode, video is recorded and displayed.

If you click the Pause button, the button and the control panel change to TV-on-Demand mode, the last frame of video is displayed, and video is recorded. When you

click the Play (lower) button, recorded video is displayed, continuing from where you paused.

If you do not hear TV audio, or if the audio is too low or too high, see Troubleshooting on page 114.

To return to live broadcasting

Click the Live TV button in the TV-on-Demand control panel. Video recording stops. To keep recording while

you watch live TV, stay in TV-on-Demand mode and drag the slider to the right (see To move within recorded video on page 38).
