Manual recording to the DVR is only allowed for recording and
archiving of DVDs which you own. There are three available
quality modes for recording as well as four different record dura-

Depending on the output fi le format set by the DVD player, the
available hard drive space for video recording will vary.
The default recording format in the T10/T12 overhead system is
16:9 widescreen.
For dock recording in the home, the format is set by your source
input device.
Source output format is 16:9 Widescreen.

ing the “RECORD” option at the bottom of the screen and pressing
ENTER. Recording will be confi rmed by a “REC” OSD from the DVR
and a record status that indicates the recording time elapsed as well
as the record quality and duration selected. To stop recording, press
the STOP button on the remote or EJECT on the CPM. To pause
DVD playback, bring up the RUI and select “Pause DVD.” To view the
recorded fi le, go back to the DVR main menu, navigate and select
the VIDEO icon and then locate the fi le. Once the fi le is located and
highlighted, press PLAY to begin video playback.
