Can I pause, rewind, or fast-forward a program shown in the upper right
corner of Explorer screens?
Yes. The small screen shown in the upper right corner of Explorer screens (the
Quarter screen) is actually the main TV screen. It is reduced to fit within Explorer
screens. Keys such as pause, play, rewind, and fast-forward control the main TV
screen, whether the screen fills the monitor of your TV or whether it is reduced to
fit in an Explorer screen.
Questions About Watching Two Programs at Once
If a program is being recorded in the PIP screen and I turn off the PIP
feature, will this stop the recording?
No. The Explorer DVR will continue to record the program even if you turn off the
PIP feature.
What if my TV doesn’t have the PIP feature?
That’s no problem. You can still use the PIP feature because the Explorer DVR
provides the PIP feature, not your TV.
Questions About Recording Programs and Playing
Them Back
Can I record the program that is shown in the PIP screen?
You can record a program that is shown in the PIP screen, but you must start the
recording from the main TV screen. For details, see “Record Two Programs at
Once” on page 28.
Can I play back more than one recording at the same time?
No. You can play only one recording at a time. For a list of how you can make the
most of the features provided by the Explorer DVR, see page 1.
Can I recover a recording that was erased from the Explorer DVR?
No. There is no way to recover a recording that has been erased from the
Recorded List screen. You can copy programs to a VCR tape or extend the
length of time a program is saved, though. For details, see “Copy Recordings to
a VCR Tape” on page 38 or “Change the Save Time of a Recording You Have
Saved” on page 40.
