Your Dual Tuner DVR has made recording and watching your favorite programs easier than ever. You have your
own personal video library, stored on your digital set-top box, so you can watch them at your convenience.
Digital Video Recorder (DVR) - Dual Tuner
Control Live TV
Using your DVR and your Digital Cable Remote, you can control live TV. Anytime you tune to a channel, the DVR
begins making a temporary recording of whatever you’re watching. So you can PAUSE if the phone rings, REWIND
or INSTANT REPLAY a scene you missed and FAST FORWARD to skip what you don’t want to watch. Your DVR will
record up to two hours of live TV*.
The live TV recording is not a permanent recording, unless you actually save it to the DVR’s hard drive. For live TV
recordings, the temporary recording (buffer) will be erased if any of the following occur:
• YouturnoffyourDVR
.
• Youswitchtoanotherprogramonthesametuner.WhenyouchangechannelswithoutusingtheSWAP
function, your DVR begins to store the new program. It removes the previous program you were watching
from the storage. (See SWAP section for additional information on page 5.)
• Youwatchmorethantwohours(lessforHD).Aftertwohours,theDVR removes the earlier minutes of the
recording, so that only the most recent two hours are kept in the temporary storage.
Playback Controls
You can play back your video recordings using the Video Control Buttons.
These buttons function like VCR
controls. Plus, you have new DVR
control features, like Instant Replay
and SWAP.
Note: Not all remotes may be equipped with Instant Replay,SWAP
and LIVE buttons.
* Recording buer (temporary storage) for each tuner will record as long as you stay tuned to the same channel.
Remote Control Arrow Buttons
The buttons on your remote control will control playback when you are watching a recording in progress
or while watching a recorded program.

Status Bar
The Status Bar appears whenever you PAUSE, REWIND or FAST FORWARD a live program. It also gives you
information such as the title of the program you are watching, the source of the program and duration of time.
The yellow position bar indicates where you are in the program. Green indicates the length of the program you
are watching. White indicates the length of other programs available in the buffer. Red indicates that you are
watching a recording in progress.
Pause
As you watch live TV and recorded programs, press PAUSE
and the programming on your TV screen instantly freezes. No
more missing the climactic scene of a movie or the winning play
of the game! For programs you are watching live, your DVR will
remain in pause for up to 90 minutes*. Pressing PAUSE more
than once allows frame by frame viewing. Press PLAY to
resume normal play of the program from the point where it was
paused.
Rewind
Want to review a portion of your live show? It’s a snap with DVR.
Press REWIND . Press it again up to 4 times to increase the
rewind speed. REW, REW2, REW3 and REW4 will appear on-screen.
REW is the slowest setting and REW4 is the fastest. Press REWIND
a fifth time or press PLAY to resume normal play.
Fast Forward
For programs you are watching live, FAST FORWARD can be
activated if you have paused or rewound the program. Press FAST
FORWARD to move forward in the program. Press it up to 4
times to increase the fast forward speed. FF, FF2, FF3 and FF4 will
appear on-screen. FF is the slowest setting and FF4 is the fastest.
Press FAST FORWARD a fifth time or press PLAY to resume
normal play.
Note: You can only fast forward up to the point of live broadcast.
Slow Motion
Your DVR is equipped with slow-forward and slow-rewind
functions to give you crisp and clear Slow Motion images.
To activate slow-forward, press PAUSE and then FAST
FORWARD . To use slow-rewind, press PAUSE and then
REWIND . To return to regular speed, press PLAY .
* Pause capacity depends on video format; less than two hours for High Definition programming.

Instant Replay
With Instant Replay*, you can go back to see the last play of the
game or replay the last scene of your movie. Just press the
button on your remote or PAGE on your remote to replay the
last 15 seconds. Press the button on your remote or PAGE
repeatedly to continue skipping back in 15-second increments.
Return to Live TV
Anytime you pause or rewind a live program, the show continues to be broadcast in real time. To return to live
programming, press the button or the LIVE button*.
SWAP Between Two Programs
Because your DVR has two tuners, it can buffer (temporarily record) two programs at the same time – one on
each tuner. The SWAP feature lets you toggle back and forth between the two live shows while giving you full
control of both.
• Whileyouaretunedtoaprogram,pressthe SWAP button on your remote. You will change tuners.
• Nowyoucanselectanalternateprogrambychangingchannelsorusingtheguide.

• Whenrecordingtwoprogramsatthesametime,on-screenpromptswillaskifyouwishtoswaptuners.
Select your desired recording preference.
Note: The SWAP button is the key to keeping the buer for both programs. If you change channels without using SWAP,
you will lose the buer. Additionally, in order for the SWAP function to work as listed above, your remote must be set to
control the DVR. Press the CABLE or CBL button on the top of the remote before using SWAP for the rst time.
Personal Video Library
Using your DVR, you can build your own personal library of programs, movies, sports, TV shows … whatever you
want. Follow the steps below to build and manage your personal video library.
Using Parental Locks With DVR - You can restrict viewing of recorded programs, just like any other program. If you
schedule a recording for a program you have Locked, the program will be recorded, however, audio is muted and no
video will appear while the program is recording. A restricted notice remains on-screen allowing you to enter your PIN
to view the program during recording. Once the program has been recorded, you can access it from your list of recorded
programs. Just enter your PIN to view it To set up a PIN number, select PINs Setup from the Setup Menu and follow the
on-screen prompts.
Building Your Library - Recording Programs
When recording two programs at the same time, on-screen prompts will ask if you wish to swap tuners. Select
your desired recording preference.
You can set and schedule recordings three ways: one-touch record, record from a program info screen and by
manually scheduling your recording.
