Saving Shows to Videotape For long-term archiving, or if you want to save a show permanently, you san save shows recorded by the Hard Disk Recorder to videotape. This way, you reserve more space for the Hard Disk Recorder to record other shows. The Hard Disk Recorder is not intended to be used as a long-term storage device. Before you begin... Make sure your VCR is properly connected to the Hard Disk Recorder.
The Hard Disk Recorder manages recording space based on priorities. The priorities are set when you select to record a single show, or create a Show-besed, Theme-based or Zone*based Replay channel. The capacity of the Hard Disk Recorder's recording space is also determined by the level of recording quality you select. =High" quality takes more space than =Extended" quality.
When you guarantee recording of a future show, recording space is immediately set aside, For this reason, the size of your recording space limits the number of shows you can guarantee. A guaranteed record places solid red dots next to the show-based recording in the Channel Guide. When you don't guarantee a future show for recording, the show uses whatever space is available at the time it is recorded. If there is no unused space available at the time, the show may not be recorded.
