Use Power-Save Mode
To maximize the life of your DVR, you should power-down the DVR when it is not in use. Simply press CBL and then press Power on your remote control, or press Power on the front panel of the DVR. The Power light turns off, but because the DVR still is plugged in, your scheduled recordings still occur.
Between 1:00 a.m. and 6:00 a.m. every day, your DVR will automatically enter Power-Save mode. In Power-Save mode, the set-top is powered- down, but all scheduled recordings still occur. When the DVR enters Power-Save mode, your TV displays a black screen.
At approximately 1:10 a.m., the DVR displays a 5-minute warning banner, which states that the DVR is about to enter Power-Save mode. When the banner appears, do one of the following:
Attention
Your DVR will automatically enter power-save mode in 5 minutes.
Press any remote key to continue watching TV.
•To allow the DVR to enter Power-Save mode, do nothing when the warning banner appears. The DVR will automatically power-down. After your DVR powers down, you must press CBL and then press Power on your remote control, or press Power on the front panel of your DVR to start watching TV again.
•To stop the DVR from entering Power-Save mode, simply press any key on your remote control when the warning banner appears.
From 1:10 a.m. through 6:00 a.m., the DVR displays the warning banner if you do not press a key on the remote control or the front panel within 2 hours.
