Recording Options

RECORDING OPTIONS

When you set up a timer, you can choose from the following options:

•Stop Recording Manually—The receiver will record until you press STOP.

•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 page 66.

•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.

2Choose a group or sort option to help you quickly find the program you want to watch:

•To group programs into folders, select Group, then select a Group Option.

•To sort programs by name, date, or other categories, select Sort, then a Sort Option.

The My Recordings list re-arranges itself to match your sorting or grouping selection.

TIPS

QUESTIONS
