Copy to VCR

Connect VCR inputs to cable box outputs "OUT 2 (VCR)."

Place a blank tape in your VCR.

Set your VCR input to record from the cable box.

Press RECORD on your VCR.

The Copy to VCR feature lets you copy recordings from your DVR to a VCR tape.

Notes:

• This graphic shows the 8300HD back panel layout. Other DVR back

panel layouts will vary.

• It is possible to record live TV directly to a VCR tape (instead of

copying your recording) by connecting the main OUT 1 outputs

directly to the VCR inputs. However, when you do this, all remote

activity (bringing up menus, pausing, rewinding, etc.) will also be

recorded on the VCR tape.

COPY A RECORDING TO A VCR TAPE

1. Connect the VCR to the OUT 2 connection on the back of the DVR.

Note: Connecting to your VCR using the OUT 2 outputs allows you to watch or

record another program or even change channels in the Main screen, without

affecting the copy in progress.

2. Make sure that a tape is in your VCR and that the VCR is set to record.

3. Press

4. Press

or to select the recording you want to copy to the VCR. Make

sure to select a program that is not currently being recorded.

5. Press to access the Recorded Program Options screen.

6. Press

to select “Copy to VCR.”

7. Press

to access the Copy to VCR screen.

8. Make sure your VCR is properly connected to your DVR outputs, and press

Record on your VCR.

9. Press

to begin copying to the VCR tape. The Recorded List displays the VCR

symbol for the recording that is copying to VCR.

10. After the recording finishes copying to the VCR tape, playback the VCR tape in

your VCR to verify that the recording was successfully copied.

Note: Some DVR recordings, particularly pay-per-view events, cannot be archived

to VCR tape, due to copy protection settings within the program content. If you

copy a DVR recording to a VCR tape, do not delete the DVR recording until you

verify that you can successfully play the recording on the VCR tape. You have to

play the recording on the VCR tape to verify that the archiving process was

successful.

11. If the DVR program was successfully recorded to VCR tape, you can delete the

DVR recording.

Notes:

• You can watch the copying in progress through the PIP. You can turn the PIP

feature on and off without affecting the copy in progress. A “Copying to VCR”

banner displays for 3 seconds when you turn the PIP feature on.

• While copying is in progress, you are free to change channels in the main screen.

You can even simultaneously record 2 live programs while you copy a recording to

a VCR tape.

WARNING: Avoid electric shock. Unplug all electronic devices

before connecting or disconnecting any device cables to the DVR.
