window. Connecting to your VCR using the OUT 2 outputs allows you to watch or record another program or even change channels in the Main screen, without affecting the copy in progress.

Notes:

•You can turn the PIP feature off and on without affecting the copy in progress. A “Copying to VCR” banner will be displayed for 3 seconds when you turn the PIP feature on.

•You can still record live TV directly to a VCR tape (instead of your DVR) by connecting the DVR OUT 2 outputs directly to the VCR inputs and not using the Copy a Recording to a VCR Tape instructions on page 13. Recording live TV directly to your VCR causes the VCR to record all remote control activities, including information banners and on-screen displays such as

when Guide is pressed.
