Set a Manual Recording
The Set Manual Recording option lets you schedule a single or recurring recording at a specified time. Since this is
a time-based option, you have the flexibility to record portions of a program or blocks of multiple programs on a
single channel.
To Set a Manual Recording, begin at the Actions Card.
1. Use the UP or DOWN arrow to highlight
Record and then press SELECT. This will
display the Record Options dialogue box.
2. Use the DOWN arrow to highlight Set
Manual Recording and then press SELECT.
3. Adjust the settings using the UP and
DOWN arrows to highlight individual
settings, the LEFT and RIGHT arrows
to choose options and the B button to
confirm a setting change. There are many
different settings you can change:
• Record: Use the LEFT and RIGHT
arrows to choose between One Time Only
(default) and a Recurring recording.
• Channels: Use the LEFT and RIGHT arrows
to select a channel.
Manual recordings give you the flexibility to decide when
to start or end a recording, even if is just part of a program
or a block of programs.
