HD/DVR USER GUIDE

With the Explorer® 8300™, Digital Video Recorder (DVR), you can easily record your

favorite programs and then play them back anytime. The DVR and Picture-in-Picture

(PIP) features give you complete control, convenience, and choice when watching TV.

Use your DVR to control the following features...

Control live TV

The telephone is ringing and you do not want to miss any scenes of your favorite live

TV program. DVR lets you PAUSE the live program, or REWIND and PLAY a portion of

it again, or FAST-FORWARD it to catch up to live TV.

Sports fans can enjoy complete control by using INSTANT REPLAY, SLOW MOTION,

and FRAME ADVANCE and REWIND to watch their favorite play again.

Record TV programs without a VCR

RECORD and save your favorite TV programs to the DVR to watch later.

When two of your favorite TV program are scheduled at the same time, RECORD one

program to the built-in recorder while watching the other!

Never miss your favorite programs that are scheduled at the same time. Simply

RECORD both programs at the same time. While recording both programs, you can

play back a third program you have already recorded.

RECORD a single episode or all episodes of your favorite TV programs.

RECORD one of your favorite TV programs and at the same time, access any advanced

application, such as video-on-demand (VOD).

Not sure if you have room to RECORD new programs? Checking your available record-

ing space is easy with the recording space used feature.

Watch two TV programs at the same time

PIP is built into the Explorer 8000 DVR, so you can watch two live programs at the same

time on any make or model TV that is connected to your DVR.

When something exciting occurs in the PIP program, you can easily swap the PIP into

the Main screen. Once that program is in the Main screen, you can pause or record it.

When the PIP screen is covering a “must see” moment on the Main screen, simply

RECORD the PIP screen to a different corner of your TV screen.

Let’s Get Started!

Welcome!
