The Recorder automatically uses Extreme (Fine) Quality when displaying and recording live TV. However, when it records a scheduled program via the To Do List, the Recorder uses the Video Recording Quality you specified as a default in this setting. If that quality is not Extreme (Fine), you may notice the difference when recording starts.

Remote Control

You can use your Recorder’s remote to control the power, volume, mute, and TV input settings on your TV or A/V Stereo System. Select your TV or A/V Stereo System brand and then follow the on-screen instructions as you step through the various codes to program the Recorder’s remote control. See the Installation Guide for more information.
