Recording Options
When you set up a timer, you can choose from the following options:
• Stop Recording Manually—The receiver records until you press STOP. If you forget
to press STOP, you may fill your hard drive with one recording.
• Extend End Time—You can extend the stop time for the recording. This option is
useful for programs that might run overtime, like sporting events or awards shows.
• Create a Recurring Timer—You can set up a timer like the one described in Setting
Up an Automatic Timer on page15.
• Record the Entire Event—The receiver stops recording at the end of the event. This
selection is available only if the receiver was turned on and tuned to the channel since
the beginning of the program.
Note: If you tune to a program after it has begun, then you can record only the part of
the program after you tuned to it.
