The DVR (Digital Video Recorder) is a special Digital Cable

Television CATV set top box equipped with a built-in computer

that allows for simultaneous multiple recording and playback

of CATV programming. There is also a built-in High Definition

tuner and special video outputs for HDTV’s. The box has both

temporary memory (RAM) and permanent memory that is

used to interactively store and playback CATV content. A

single coax input feeds signal to 2 independent tuners that

make it possible for the box to simultaneously play, pause,

fast-forward, rewind, and record two channels (analog or

digital) at the same time. The box is also capable of recording

two channels at the same time and playing back another

program that was previously recorded. There are a number

of ways to view, record, and playback multiple programs,

but keep in mind that this DVR model still only allows one

program to be watched by the viewer at a time.

You can press the channel Up/Down button on the remote,

or...

You can type a channel number directly by using the # keypad

on the remote, or...

Press the OK button to display a quick two channel listing,

then use the Up/Down arrow navigation buttons to browse

through channel information before tuning to one. When

you’ve found the channel you are looking for, simply press the

OK button to tune that channel.

(PLEASE NOTE THAT WHEN YOU CHANGE THE CHANNEL IN THIS MANNER,

ALL MEMORY STORED FOR THE CURRENT CHANNEL IS LOST. PLEASE

USE THE SWAP BUTTON INSTEAD IF YOU WISH TO RETAIN CHANNEL

MEMORY.)

You can press the Last button on your remote to jump back to

the previous channel.

(PLEASE NOTE THAT WHEN YOU CHANGE THE CHANNEL IN THIS MANNER,

ALL MEMORY STORED FOR THE CURRENT CHANNEL IS LOST. PLEASE

USE THE SWAP BUTTON INSTEAD IF YOU WISH TO RETAIN CHANNEL

MEMORY.)

Play – press the Play button, or if the program is currently

paused you can press the ^ (up) arrow to resume normal

playback.

Rewind – press the << REW button, or press the < (back)

arrow. (To increase the speed, you may press the button up to

4 times for 4x speed...pressing the button a 5th time returns

you to normal playback.) To stop rewinding, press Play, or the

^ (up) arrow to resume normal playback.

Fast-forward – press the >> FFWD button, or press the >

(forward) arrow. (You may increase the speed the same way

as with the rewind function.) ***Please keep in mind that you

can only fast-forward the program until it reaches its LIVE

broadcast point.***

Slow-Motion – you can start slow motion forward or rewind

by first pressing the Pause button (or the up arrow), then

pressing either the left or right arrows once. To resume normal

playback press Play or the Up arrow.

replay of the last 10 seconds of programming that you just

viewed.

LIVE TV – press the Live TV button to skip ahead to the LIVE

broadcast point.

LIST – press this button to see a listing of the programs you

have previously recorded.

If you want to be able to flip back and forth between two

channels (Tuner 1 & Tuner 2) without missing anything, you

will need to use the Swap button on the remote to switch

between the two tuners.

1) Tune to the first program, either by using the guide

or typing the number in manually. The box will begin

storing this channel on Tuner 1.

2) Press the swap button to switch to Tuner 2. Then

navigate to the second program you would like to

watch. The box will begin storing this channel (on

Tuner 2) as well as the first channel (on Tuner 1).

3) You can now switch back and forth between the two

programs at will by using the Swap button. The Pause,

Fast-forward, Rewind, and Play buttons can be used to

skip commercials or to catch something you may have

missed while you were watching the other channel.

Advanced Feature: You can also swap between 2 live programs

and 1 or 2 pre-recorded programs at the same time. This can be

done by using both the Swap and Last buttons on the remote

control together. First you must tune both live programs using

the procedure above, then go to Menu button > DVR (menu)

> My Recordings to start watching a pre-recorded program

(doing this will not stop the box from continuing to record the

live programming). Use the Last button to switch between the

pre-recorded shows and the live programs being recorded by

Tuner 1 & Tuner 2.

At any time when you are watching something or notice a

future program in the on-screen guide that you would like

to save to watch again later, you can initiate the recording

process by simply pressing the Record button. The DVR box

will begin storing the current program on the hard-drive,

starting from the point where you first began watching the

program.

(IF YOU ATTEMPT TO TUNE A DIFFERENT CHANNEL BEFORE THE PROGRAM

HAS FINISHED, YOU WILL SEE A WARNING THAT THE RECORDING WILL BE

STOPPED...INSTEAD, USE THE SWAP BUTTON TO

TUNE TO A DIFFERENT

CHANNEL WITHOUT STOPPING

YOUR CURRENT RECORDING PROCESS.)

You can set the DVR box to record a future program or series

of programs by using the special recording options.

1) Use the on-screen guide or A-Z search tool to find

the program you wish to record. Press OK to view the

information about the program for setting recording

options.

2) Use the arrow buttons on the remote to select the red

dot, then press OK.

3) A recording menu will be displayed. If you would like to

set a one-time recording without any special options,

simply press the Record button. If you would like to

modify the options, arrow down to the Recording

Options and press OK. If you would like to set a series

recording, skip to step 5.

4) You will see three settings: Save Recording Until, Start

Recording, & End Recording. You can modify these

settings by pressing the arrow buttons on the remote

and then pressing OK.

5) If you would like to make this a Series Recording

instead of a one-time recording, arrow down to the last

recording option called Create a Series Recording and

press OK.

6) You will see options for recording first run or repeats,

how many episodes to save, and whether the stored

episodes will be automatically or manually deleted

when memory space is needed. Press OK to confirm the

series recording.

(THE DVR BOX DOES NOT NEED TO BE LEFT ON FOR A SCHEDULED

PROGRAM TO BE RECORDED...THE BOX WILL TURN ON BY ITSELF TO

RECORD.)

To watch or delete a program that has been recorded, press

the Menu button > DVR (menu) > My Recordings and select

the desired program. You can Resume (where you left off), or

Restart from the beginning, or Delete the program. You will

be asked to confirm your selection when choosing to delete.

Whenever the set top box is turned on, LIVE programming on

both tuners is continuously stored in temporary memory. This

means that if you need to leave the room to answer the door

for example, you could come back 30 minutes later and rewind

a program right back to where you left off. An even better way

to do this is to press Pause on the remote before you leave the

room. Your program will remain paused until you return, or

until the temporary memory has been filled. At that point the

box will automatically continue playing the program.

Pause – press the Pause button, or press the ^ (up) arrow.

(continued)

(so you can watch it again later)
