Replay Zones

Go here to record special
television programming
organized in categories for you.
In this frequently updated area,
you’ll find the best of what’s on in
an easy-to-use lineup.

Replay Guide

Go here to watch your recorded
shows. Every show that the Hard
Disk Recorder records is stored in
the Replay Guide until you delete
it or it’s replaced by the next
recorded show. Also listed are the
upcoming recordings you have
set.

Channel Guide

To record any show that is available to
you, start from the Channel Guide. The
Channel Guide is an interactive, on-
screen program guide that lists seven
days of television information for all of
the channels you currently receive.

Messages

You’ll receive a welcome message after completing
the on-screen setup of the Hard Disk Recorder for the
first time. Messages occasionally appear to inform you
of special occurrences while using the Hard Disk
Recorder. If you see that a new message has been
received, highlight Message and press SELECT. Read
the new message and take the appropriate action.

Find Shows

Select Find Shows to quickly locate a show for recording
using a keyword search. After the Hard Disk Recorder
searches for you, you can set a show for recording, or
create a theme channel based on your search.
