4.3.4 Editing recordings
As well as copying recordings, your PVR allows you to edit
recordings that are stored on the hard disk. So, for example,
if you set a recording to start a few minutes early, you could
remove the extra material at the start of it. Or if you just want
to keep a small part of a programme, you can cut it out and
save it, then delete the rest.
Because of the way that recordings are broadcast and saved
on the PVR, the actual points at which edits are made may
vary by a few seconds from the position you select on screen;
for perfect results, you may find it easier to edit recordings on
your computer.
To edit a recording, start playing the programme, and find the
location where you would like to make the edit. Press the Play
button to display the progress bar. While the progress bar is
on screen, press the White button on the remote control, and
the red marker will start flashing between red and blue.
Now, use the left and right arrows to move either forwards
or backwards in the program. The part of the progress bar
between the point where you first pressed the White key and
the current position will turn purple.
When you have highlighted the
section of a program that you
wish to either remove or save,
press the Blue button, and this
message will appear on screen.
