[. . . ] The time that is reserved for the Show-based channel that you just deleted can be used for non-guaranteed shows. Although, if another episode of the guaranteed show is about to air, it will reclaim its reserved recording space that was borrowed by the non-guaranteed recording. Recording Space Management Tips Here are some space saving tips to make sure the Hard Disk Recorder records what you want. Use the Guaranteed record setting for your can't-miss shows Use the Guaranteed setting for the shows you can't afford to miss. Then, go ahead and use the non-guaranteed setting for other shows. By using the guaranteed setting for every show, you may eliminate recording of other shows you'd like to watch. If you maintain your Replay Guide regularly, there should always be enough space to record guaranteed and non-guaranteed shows. Use the High record quality setting sparingly The High quality setting provides the best picture for the shows you record. This also takes up the most recording space of the three record quality settings. You might want to use the High setting for sporting events, fast-action movies and other shows where quality is vital. Keep space available for pausing If you need to pause live TV for longer than 10 minutes, keep more recording space free for the added pause time. Save shows you want to keep long-term to videotape For shows you want to keep permanently, connect a VCR to the Hard Disk Recorder and transfer recordings to videotape. See "Saving Shows to Videotape" on page 39. And see page 14 and 15 for connections. Review your Replay Guide regularly to delete any unwanted shows Every show you record remains in your Replay Guide--even after you watch it. As more shows are recorded, available space begins to run out. Rather than leave an old episode in your Replay Guide, delete the show after you watch it. That way, you make space available so that other shows can be recorded, rather than tie that space up from week to week. Check your Replay Guide on a regular basis and delete shows you have already watched. To delete a show from the Replay Guide: 1. An on-screen message displays when the Hard Disk Recorder has reached the end of a Replay show. When the on-screen message appears, press SELECT.
