Status Bar

Press the PAUSE ( ) button to make the status bar visible. It shows a one-hour period. The green segment is the portion of the hour that has been saved by your Recorder.

Look for the white line. It marks the part of the program you are currently watching. If the white line is anywhere back in the green segment, you are “behind” real time (which is

way better than being behind the times!). Press the ADVANCE button ( ) to catch up to real time.

Now press CHAN UP. When you change channels, the saved programming from the old channel is cleared, and the Recorder starts to save what is showing on the new channel.

Channel Banner

You see the channel banner when you change the channel or press INFO or RIGHT arrow. It’s only there for a few seconds, but you can bring it back by pressing INFO (or RIGHT arrow) again. While the banner is visible, press RIGHT arrow to switch from a small to medium to large banner. Note that each version has a different amount of information.

Keep pressing RIGHT arrow until you see the largest version of the channel banner. Notice the small icons on the right side. Each symbol represents a useful feature, such as recording or Parental Controls. Press the UP and DOWN arrows to highlight different icons. Pressing SELECT while an icon is highlighted takes you to that feature. (For more on using these icons, see page 29.)

Finally, press the CLEAR button—the channel banner disappears. (CLEAR hides anything on the screen that isn’t part of the program you’re watching.)

Now go have fun playing with live TV, then come back for the next tour!
