Enhanced Save to VCR
We've enhanced the Save to VCR function so that you have more flexibility: You
can now save a program in the Now Playing from a spot you stopped watching. You
can also interrupt "Save to VCR" in mid-program, then resume saving from where
you stopped.
Before Choosing Save to VCR:
Be sure you have connected your Recorder's video and audio to your VCR's
video and audio. (See the guides that came with your Recorder for details on
how to connect your Recorder to a VCR.)
Be sure your VCR is set to record input from your Recorder, not some other
video source. (See your VCR's instructions for how to do set this.)
Set up your VCR. If you have a Sony VCR, connect the IR Control cable and
complete VCR Control (as described in the guides that came with your
Recorder), and your Recorder will be able to communicate with your VCR.
lfyou don't have a Sony VCR, you will have to make the VCR record manually
(see step #3 below).
Make sure you have a tape in the VCR.
How to Save to VCR:
1. Go to the Now Playing (to do this, you can press the LIST button once or the
TiVo Button twice!), highlight the show you want to save and press SELECT.
Then, select "Save to VCR.
2. On the next screen, you can choose to "Start saving from the beginning" or
"Cancel saving program to VCR." Plus, if you watched part of the program in
the Now Playing List, you will now also have the choice to "Save from the
paused location" and only record the unwatched portion of the show.
3. If you have a Sony VCR, a title screen with a black background will appear for
five seconds. Then your Recorder will begin to play the program for your VCR
with no banners displayed, and your VCR ;Vill start recording automatically.
For any other type of VCR, the title screen appears for ten seconds. When you
see it, press your VCR's record button. However, if you chose "Save from the
paused location," you will see a countdown screen instead of the title screen.
(To ensure that your VCR has time to begin recording, press record on your
VCR before the countdown gets to "1.") The Recorder will begin to play the
program for your VCR with no banners displayed.
Transfers to a VCR happen in real time. That is, if a program is two hours long, it
will take two hours to transfer it to the VCR.
