7.4 Copying a recording

If you have recorded a programme of a pay service with the
subscription card, you can play it as freely like that of a free
service. Otherwise you need the subscription card to play it
back because it has been recorded without descrambling even
though it may have been partially descrambled.
On the recorded programme list, a purely green $ indicates the
recording has been wholly descrambled; on the other hand, a
yellowish green $ indicates it has been partially descrambled,
and a purely yellow $ indicates it has not been descrambled at
all.
There are two ways to fully descramble a scrambled recording
so that you can play it back without the subscription card later
on. One is to make a copy while playing it back to the end; the
other is to make the copy job to be carried out as a timer event.
The first method is very easy to carry out. When you select
an entry to play in the recorded programme list, the playback
option box appears. Simply set the Descramble Mode option
to Auto Recording. Then a descrambled copy will be created
while you are watching it.
NOTE
You should get the scrambled recordings descrambled as
soon as possible. You could lose the chance to descram-
ble forever if you hang around too long because broadcast-
ing operators frequently changes the key signal for descram-
bling.
You can record the file in whole or in part during a playback
by performing the following steps:
1. Start playback of a recording you want.
