Using your set-top’s DVR (digital video recorder) functions
Your set-top has an internal hard disk that you can use to record and play back television programs, giving you
much more control of your viewing experience. For example, you can pause live television and resume viewing
from the point at which you left off. You can record many more hours than you can by using a VCR or DVD
recorder. There are red lights on your set-top’s front panel to show when recording is taking place.
With your set-top you can:
• pauseliveTV;
• instantlyreplayliveTV;
• fast-forwarduptothepointofliveTV;
• watchasceneinslowmotion;

NOTES
The exact functionality of the
DVR in your set-top depends on
your on-screen program guide.
For more details, consult the
information supplied by your cable
service-provider.
Do not confuse recording to the
hard disk with recording to a
separate VCR or DVD recorder, as
mentioned on page 20.
The DVR functions will not work if
your set-top becomes overheated.
The internal hard disk will be
temporarily disabled. Refer to the
set-top’s ventilation requirements
on page 4.
