Video Disk Recorder User's Manual --------------------------------- * Selecting a Channel There are three ways to select a channel: 1. With no On Screen Menu displayed press the "Up" or "Down" key to switch to the next higher or lower channel. 2. Press the "Menu" button to bring up the On Screen Menu, select "Channels" and browse through the list with the "Up" and "Down" key; to switch to the selected channel press "Ok". 2. Directly type in the channel number with the numeric keys ('0'..'9'); if no key is pressed for about half a second, the digits collected so far will define the channel number. After switching to a different channel the channel number and name, as well as the current time are displayed at the top of the screen. This line automatically goes away after about two seconds, or if any key is pressed. To bring up the channel display without switching channels you can press the "Ok" button. * Instant Recording You can start recording the current channel by pressing the "Record" button. This will create a timer event named "instant" that start at the current time and records for two hours. If you want to modify the recording time you need to edit the timer. Stop instant recording by disabling or deleting the timer. * Replaying a Recording All recordings are listed in the "Recordings" menu.
