[. . . ] DIRECTV Plus HD DVR USER GUIDE Safety & Care Your DIRECTV® Plus HD DVR has been designed and manufactured to stringent quality and safety standards. You should, however, be aware of the following important precautions for safe and optimal use of the equipment. Meaning of symbols printed on the rear panel of the product: · · The " bolt of lightning" indicates un-insulated material within your unit may cause an electrical shock.

[. . . ] 4 Press and hold the LEFT and RIGHT arrows to adjust the brightness of the blue lights in the light ring on the front panel. You can dim the lights until they turn off completely. To turn the lights on, press and hold the LEFT and RIGHT arrows again. Recorded TV Troubleshooting A program I tried to record does not show up in the MyVODTM screen. 4 Someone else in your household may have prevented the recording, or erased the program after it recorded. 4 The recording may have been canceled due to a conflict with another program with higher priority in the Prioritizer. 4 Press MENU, select Settings, then Scheduler. You will see a list of recent programs, with their recording status info. 45 If you get a lot of recording conflicts, you may be trying to record too many programs at once. I wanted to record a program, but I got an error message saying it conflicted with another scheduled record. 4 Your DIRECTV Plus HD DVR can record up to two programs at once, or it can record one program while you watch another. If you exceed these limits (for example, if you try to record three programs at 8 p. m. on Thursday), you will be notified there is a conflict. You will have to decide which program you want to cancel. 4 If the overlap is just a couple of minutes (for example, some networks occasionally start programs at 8:59 instead of 9:00 p. m. ), try scheduling the recording manually (go to the Scheduler and select Manual) and change the start and end times appropriately. I recorded a program, and the recording got cut off just before the end, so I missed the last bit of the program. 4 Next time, try setting the end time of the recording in the Record Options so the recording ends one or two minutes later (or more, if necessary). For sporting events, you may want to try 15 minutes or more, to protect against overtime games. Some networks show program episodes several times during a week, so if you just watched a program where the last few minutes were not recorded, try scheduling it again immediately. Note that adding time to the beginning or end of a recording increases the likelihood of recording conflicts, so use time padding sparingly. (See previous question. ) A program I recorded was displayed in the MyVODTM screen, but got deleted before I could watch it. 4 When you schedule a recording from an Info screen, you can select how long your recording are kept: Until I Delete, or Until Space Needed. When you schedule a program with one-touch record, the recording defaults to Until Space Needed. Programs that are set to be kept Until Space Needed may be deleted as new programs are recorded. You can change this option for a completed recording by pressing LIST to view the To Do list, then press SELECT on the desired program.
