To Start Recording

NOTE:

1.Press HDD/DVD (on the remote or the unit) until ‘HDD’ appears on the screen.

2.Press REC MODE (on the remote or the unit)* so that ‘SP 2h00m/DVD…’ appears on screen.

3.Press INPUT SELECT (on the remote or the unit)* and select the appropriate source. (for example, L1 for the Xbox, L3 for the PS2).

4.To start recording gameplay footage, press REC (on the remote or the unit).
