Chapter 3: Using the Recorder’s Features
Playback: Watch and/or listen to content that’s stored on the Recorder’s hard disk drive
Once you’ve recorded programs to your Digital Media Recorder, they will be saved on the Recorder’s hard disk
drive.
Playing programs you’ve recorded
To play back shows you’ve recorded, do the following:
1. From the Digital Media Recorder’s main menu (press the MENU button on the remote), use the arrow buttons
on the remote to highlight Video and press the OK button (a list of programs that have been saved to the
Digital Media Recorder appears).
2. Use the up and down arrow buttons on the remote to highlight the show you want to play.
3. To watch the program, press PLAY. If you want to name the program, delete it, or change the play mode, press
the right arrow button to highlight Standard Play. Once highlighted, use the up and down arrow buttons to
scroll through choices.
While you’re watching a program that’s been saved to your hard disk drive, you can record another program that’s
on TV, or pause live TV. Just change the channel on the Digital Media Recorder to the desired program and press
RECORD. You don’t need to see the program on the TV screen for it to be recorded to the Digital Media Recorder’s
hard disk drive.
Playing back music you’ve saved to the Digital Media Recorder’s hard disk drive
Follow the instructions for “Playing programs you’ve recorded” (above), but choose Music from the main menu
instead of Video. When you select Music, the files and folders appear. To open a folder, highlight it and press the
OK button (the MP3 files in the folder appear).
Notes:
Only true MP3 files can be played and/or copied. Some MP3 players use software that converts MP3 files to other
formats, such as MPX.
The Info Display isn’t available for MP3 files.
Playing back Pictures (JPEG files) that you’ve saved to the hard disk drive
Follow the instructions for “Playing back programs you’ve recorded” (above), but choose Pictures from the main
menu instead of Video.
When you select Pictures, the files and folders appear. To open a folder, highlight it and press the OK button (the
JPEG files in the folder appear).
Notes:
JPEG files can be played and/or copied. However, if the file is large, it might not be displayed.
The Info Display isnt available for JPEG files.
Deleting Programs, Music and/or Pictures from the Digital Media Recorder
Your Digital Media Recorder has 40 GB of memory — which translates to approximately 30 hours of video
programs; up to 10,000 JPEG files; or 1,000 MP3 files that can be saved onto the hard disk drive. You can see the
status of the space left on the hard disk drive in the Video menu. The information is only an approximation based
on current recording settings. When you want to delete programs, music, or pictures to make more space available,
follow the instructions below:
1. From the main menu, select the menu that corresponds to the content you want to delete (Video, Music, or
Pictures), and press the OK button.
2. Use the arrow buttons on the remote control to highlight a video program, MP3 song, or JPEG picture.
3. Press the right arrow button to highlight the box to the right of the content list (it has arrows at the top and
bottom to indicate that you can see choices by pressing up and down arrow buttons on the remote control).
4. Press the down arrow button until Delete appears. Press OK.
