Setting the Recording Options There may be times when you want to adjust the record settings for the show you want to record.

"Extended" offers the most recording time but sacrifices picture quality. "Medium" offers a balance of the two. Notice that the recording space (hours and minutes available) changes as you adjust the record quality. The higher the recording quality, the less space available for other shows. To conserve space, use the High setting sparingly-for recording fast-action shows, for example. Guaranteed Choices are Yes and No. Guaranteed means space is reserved for this show. Non-guaranteed means the show will be recorded if there is space available (after space is reserved for Show-based Replay channels). See "Guaranteed and Non-guaranteed Recording" on page 40. Record All Episodes Choices are Yes and No. Selecting Yes will record all episodes of this show-daily or weekly. No means only this episode will be recorded. Keep If you select to record all episodes, here you can tell the Hard Disk Recorder how many you want to keep (up to 7) before the most current episode replaces the oldest episode. If you are setting up a theme-based recording, you can select the recording time between 1/2 hour and 10 hours. 29 PanaHDR- P22-.p65 29 00/12/01, 16:39
