Recording controls
Recording control buttons function the way
controls do on a DVR or other recording
device. Buttons include (see figure 33):
• Record — Set up an ad hoc* recording
session and start or resume recording.
• Pause — Pause recording.
• Extend — Extend the duration of a recording event by ten minutes beyond the
scheduled end time.
NOTE: The Extend Recording button only applies to scheduled recordings.
Stop — Stop recording and end the recording session.
•
*An ad hoc recording session is one that has been set up for a specific occasion without
being scheduled. Ad hoc recordings can last up to eight hours.
Text above the buttons lists the status of the recording: recording, paused, or stopped. A
button is blue when selected (active or on) and gray when deselected (inactive or off).
• Mark — This button works like the Mark button on the front panel of the SMP. It is
grayed out and inaccessible when the unit is not recording, and becomes accessible
and clickable once a recording starts. When you click this button during a recording,
you create a time-referenced chapter marker to make it easy to find content at that
point in the recording during playback. When you click the button, the button becomes
unavailable (grays out). The button reactivates after a brief delay (about five seconds)
while unit stores the marker information.
NOTE: The front panel buttons also indicate the recording state, mirroring the
AV Control panel indicators (see
on page 58) in the upper right
