To Tape

To Tape is very similar to To View; however, if you

have connected your VCR to the HD receiver via the IR cable and have properly set the VCR code from the Setup Menu, the chosen program will be recorded at the correct time. If the HD receiver turned itself on to record the program, it will also remember to turn itself back off after the program ends. Programs you have scheduled for taping will be identified with a videotape icon ( ) before the program title in the on-screen guide. For unattended recording using this feature, refer to page 6-11.

Note: Only the PreSelect To View option appears when the unattended recording capability is not available or when a program is not authorized for taping. In this case, the HD receiver can still be scheduled to tune to it when it comes on.

Don’t PreSelect

Once a program has been scheduled for viewing, previewing, or taping, you have the option of canceling the action. Schedules can also be canceled directly from the on-screen guide by highlighting a scheduled program and pressing the SELECT key.

PreSelecting Programs from the Advanced Program Guide™

You can perform the PreSelect capability from within the program on-screen guides. Simply highlight the program you want to schedule and press the SELECT key. Each press of the SELECT key cycles through the available options.
