Setting DVR Options

The DVR530 is the first satellite receiver from Star Choice to feature Digital Video Recording (DVR) technology. Similar to a personal computer, the DVR530 has an internal hard disk onto which video and audio are recorded. The recordings are 100% digital, maintaining the superb quality of the original broadcast.

There are several ways to customize how your DVR530 will record and playback programs.

Press the OPTIONS key on the remote control, and then select System Setup (option 6), then System Settings (option 4), then DVR (option 8), then DVR Settings (option 1) and the menu will appear.

Live Record to Disk. This option has two settings: Enable and Disable. Enable allows the DVR to record a buffer of any live TV you are viewing for use in pausing and reversing programs. This buffer recording is temporary, and is erased and re-started each time the receiver is set to standby mode or a new channel is tuned-in. The maximum length of the buffer recording is 90 minutes. Disable will prevent the recording of the buffer and also prevent the use of pause and reverse features while viewing live programming, but will not prevent the DVR from recording programs using a Scheduled Timer Event or Impulse Recording.

Time Travel Settings. These settings control the function of the Skip-Forward

and Skip-

Backward

buttons on your remote control, which allow you to immediately fast-forward

or reverse playback by a pre-set number of seconds while viewing a recorded program (or when available during live programming). The default values are 30 seconds forward and 10 seconds backward.

You may change either value by selecting the box with the current value pressing the left arrow button on the remote control to erase the pre-existing values. Then enter your preferred number of seconds using the remote control.
