Chapter 4: Using the Symbio AVHD recorder

Managing recorded programs (continued)

Deleting, locking, and unlocking recorded programs in the Modify Program window

The Symbio AVHD recorder can record a maximum of 300 programs. (The total number will be less than 300 if you record several long programs or high-definition programs that use up the 160 GB* hard drive capacity). If you attempt to record more than 300 programs, a warning message will display and you will need to delete some programs before you can begin recording again.

If the Symbio’s hard drive becomes full during recording, it will start overwriting previously recorded programs that are not locked. You can lock recorded programs so they are not accidentally deleted or overwritten.

Note the following:

If the hard drive becomes full, unlocked programs will be overwritten during recording.

If the hard drive becomes full during recording and all recorded programs are locked (and subsequently cannot be overwritten), a warning message will display and recording will stop.

To lock or unlock a recorded program:

1.Press TheaterNet DEVICE to open the TheaterNet Device Selection window.

2.Press y or z to highlight the Symbio AVHD and press ENTER. The TV’s Stream Selection window opens, displaying a list of all recorded programs for the selected device (see page 14).

3.Press y or z to highlight the recording you want to modify, and then press INFO to open the Modify Program window (illustrated at right).

4.Press x or • to select either

Locked or Unlocked, and then press ENTER.

To delete a recorded program:

1.Follow steps 1–4 above, and select “Unlocked” in step 4 (if the program is locked).

2.Press z to highlight ERASE, and then press ENTER.

Note: You cannot delete a locked program. You must unlock it

before you can delete it.
