Hughes Model HIRD-E86 Platinum HD Receiver

PreSelecting Programs for Taping

You can utilize this feature commonly known as StarSight® One-Touch Record (OTR). Programs that have been scheduled to be taped will be

identified with a videotape icon ( PreSelecting Programs for Viewing ) before the program title on the on-screen guide. If you do not want to have the PreSelected program

recorded, press the SELECT key again to change the setting to be automatically tuned to for viewing.

When using the To Tape feature the following steps must be completed for the HD receiver to perform unattended recording:

Note: Only the OUT TO TV or Audio/Video/or S-video outputs of the HD receiver can be recorded with a standard VHS VCR. You cannot watch the Y, Pr , or Pb outputs (1080i format) video while recording, because the HD receiver will only output 1080i format or standard 480i format, but not both simultaneously. When a program is preselected for taping, the output of the HD receiver should manually be switched by the user to SD (standard 480i) when recording starts.

Attach the VCR Control cable. (See Chapter 2, “Setting Up Your Satellite Receiver.”)

Use the VCR SETUP screen. (See Chapter 7, “HD Receiver’s Menu System.”)

Switch the HD receiver to SD (480i) output mode.

Set your VCR to match the output of the HD receiver. This could be either RF (channel 3 or 4) or A/V (audio left and right with video or S-video).

Insert a recordable videotape of sufficient length in the VCR.

Leave the VCR turned ON.

PreSelecting Programs for Viewing

Programs that are PreSelected for viewing will be identified on the on-screen guide with a check mark () before the program title. An additional press of the SELECT key will return the status to not scheduled.

Canceling PreSelected Programs

To cancel a PreSelected program, find the upcoming program you wish to cancel and press the SELECT key until the check mark () or videotape icon ( Canceling PreSelected Programs ) is no longer shown.

If the program is currently airing, you will need to delete the event from the SCHEDULER screen accessed from the MAIN MENU.
