RECORDING A PROGRAMME

There are two ways to record a programme to watch later – either record a programme that is on at the time, or set the timer to automatically record a programme later.

To record the programme you are currently watching, press the button. Recording will start immediately and the browsing bar will be displayed with the symbol in the bottom left hand corner. Once a recording has been started, you can change channel to watch another programme and the recording will continue. You can also start to watch a recorded programme before the recording has finished.

You can stop the recording of a programme by pressing the button while the browsing bar is displaying that programme’s details (and the symbol). Press or if the bar is not already on-screen.

You can also start and stop recording a channel from the browsing bar, while watching another channel. When the browsing bar is displaying the channel you want to record, press the button to start the recording (if that channel is not being recorded) or to stop the recording (if that channel is being recorded and the symbol is displayed).

HINT: The Plaza HDR•S can record a programme from one channel while you are watching another or record programmes on two different channels at the same time. If you try to record a third programme or watch a third channel, the Plaza HDR•S will display a warning and options of the actions you can take (eg to stop recording one of the programmes so you can watch the third channel).

To record a programme that will be broadcast in the future, either highlight the programme in the programme guide or use the browsing bar to display that programme’s details, and press the button.

If the programme is part of a series (indicated with a symbol in the browsing bar and in the programme guide full summary), you will be given the option of setting the Plaza HDR•S to automatically record future episodes of the series as well - highlight the option you want and press . Programmes set to series link record display an symbol instead of an symbol.
