Saving Shows to Videotape

For long-term archiving, or if you want to save a show permanently, you can save shows recorded by the Hard Disk Recorder to videotape.

Before you begin...

Make sure your VCR is properly connected to the Hard Disk Recorder. This is done by connecting cables from the OUTPUT jacks on the Hard Disk Recorder to the INPUT jacks on your VCR. The cables you use for this connection depend on the types of input jacks on your VCR. See page 14 and 15 for more on connecting a VCR to the Hard Disk Recorder.
