Keep—By default, an event timer keeps the 20 newest recordings it has made before
it replaces older recordings with newer ones. You can change this number here.
Start Early—You can extend the start time for the recording. This option is useful for
programs that might start a minute or two early, like some major network shows.
End Late—You can extend the stop time for the recording. This option is useful for
programs that might run overtime, like sporting events or annual awards shows.
Priority—By default, new timers have a higher priority assigned to them than existing
timers, for purposes of resolving conflicts when multiple recordings overlap.

ORTING
To group programs into folders, select Folders by Title, or you may select another
option from the drop-down menu, like Folders by Genre, My Folders or No Folders.
By default, recordings are sorted by date. To sort them alphabetically by name (A-Z)
or into rating categories, select the DVR Date drop-down mnu, and choose an option.
IPS
If you have a program paused, press PLAY to watch the program. Also, press PLAY to
switch from forward or reverse (at any speed) back to normal playback.
Press VIEW LIVE TV to catch up with the program as it's showing now, if applicable.
As you fill your internal DVR, you may want more space to store additional programs.
You can connect your own compatible, external USB 2.0 hard-disk drive (HDD) and
use the optional Archiving feature. See External Hard-Disk Drive on page 82 for more
information.
UESTIONS
How can I fast-forward through commercials? If you are watching a pre-recorded
program, or have delayed a live program, press the SKIP FWD or FWD button on your
remote control. However, you cannot skip/forward while watching live TV.
