Recorded TV Functionality

In the horizontal menu, you’ll find the Recorded TV category. All of the recorded shows that are currently recording are listed in the vertical band in alphabetical order. Episodes of a series are grouped into folders; you’ll see the individual episodes in the preview panel to the right. To watch a show, select it, and press

OK. And if you’ve already watched half of the show, you can choose whether to resume where you left off or start over from the beginning.

RECORDING ICONS

Your system includes the following recording icons for status at a glance. The following icons appear on focus cards and vertical cards throughout the main menu:

The show is recording right now.

The show is scheduled to be recorded.

The show is recorded and may be deleted when space is needed for newer shows.

The show will not delete and can only be deleted manually.

RECORDING OPTIONS

If you have record once or record series selected, you’ll see an arrow to the right that allows you to access recording options.

You can also access recording options from the action menu of a show that’s currently recording or scheduled to record.

SCHEDULED TO RECORD - SINGLE EPISODES

Recording options for a single episode scheduled to record:

• Keep - lets you decide when the show will be deleted.

• Stop - allows you to set the recording to stop early or late.

CONFLICT MANAGEMENT

Your system comes with six tuners, which means that you can record up to six* shows at once unless someone is watching live TV at the same time. In the event that there is a tuner conflict, such as when you have six recordings scheduled and are watching another live show, your Recorded TV will bring up an action menu that outlines your options and lets you make a choice.

SPACE MANAGEMENT

Shows are automatically kept until more room is needed. You can protect shows from deletion from the Recorded TV category; see the following chapter for details.

When you schedule a new show to record, your system will check to make sure your hard drive has enough room.

If your hard drive does not have enough room for the new recording, you’ll receive a message informing you that, when the new show airs, some recordings may need to be deleted in order to make room for the new show.

If all of your current recordings are protected against deletion, you’ll get a message that your show may not be recorded.

The Options card appears in the Recorded TV category and lets you set your personal recording preferences. Select the Options card, and you’ll get access to:

Canceled and Deleted – When you chose to record one show over another due to a conflict, (or someone in your household does) sometimes it’s hard to remember why that canceled show isn’t showing up in Recorded TV. Your system keeps a list of shows that you have scheduled that will not record as well as shows that did not record. The shows above focus have not aired yet, while the shows below focus have already aired.

Scheduled to Record – You can confirm that a show is set to record using the Scheduled to Record category. In Scheduled to

Record, you can also cancel a recording and access your recording options for each show. Just pick the show you want to manage and press INFO.

Parental Controls

CREATING A PIN

1. The first time you use Parental Controls the system asks you to

create a PIN.

2. In the Settings category, scroll to the Parental Controls card

and press OK.

3. Press the numbers on the remote to enter a four digit PIN

and then enter the PIN again to confirm it.

4. Choose close.

CHANGING A PIN

1. In the Settings category, scroll to the Parental Controls card,

and press OK.

2. Choose settings, use the left arrow to scroll left to the Change

PIN card, and then press OK.

3. Enter the old PIN, enter the new PIN, and then enter the new

PIN again to confirm it.

LOCKING BY CHANNEL AND/OR RATING

1. In the Settings category, scroll to the Parental Controls card,

and press OK.

2. Choose settings. You’ll be taken to the Parental Controls

menu. Use the right arrow to choose either TV Ratings, Movie

Ratings or Lock By Channel.

3. Each card contains a list of the rating systems or a list of

channels. Scroll to the format or channel you want to control.

Lock the rating or channel by choosing it, and then pressing

OK on the remote. When you lock a rating, all ratings for more

restrictive content are also locked. For example, if you lock the

TVPG rating, then the TV14 and TVMA ratings are also locked

automatically, because these ratings are for more mature

audiences than TVPG. When unlocking, the reverse is also true.

If the V-Chip in your TV is enabled, you may see a black screen after tuning to a channel with blocked content. No menu, flip bar, sound effects, or any other audio or video are shown or heard.

To correct this, change to an unblocked channel, or disable all

V-Chip functions and use the parental control features provided by the system to regulate viewing.
