After you have recorded a TV program, you may want
to save the program to a DVD to watch on another
computer that has a DVD player or your home DVD
player. Use Sonic PrimeTime to copy the recorded
program to a DVD (a recordable DVD drive is optional for
the Gateway FMC-901 Media Center).

Use Sort by date, Sort by name, or Sort by
category
to locate the recorded TV program you
want to record to DVD.

Use the remote to highlight the TV program or
programs that you want to record, then press the
OK button.

As you select TV programs, check marks appear
beside the programs and the DVD icon shows the
recording space available on the DVD.

Tip:

If your Gateway 901 Series Media Center does not include a
recordable DVD drive but includes a recordable CD drive, you can
change the recording device option to Video CD (VCD) and record
TV programs to a CD. The program will record in a lower quality
video format, but will compress to fit on a CD. To change the
recording device, click Settings, General, Recording Devices, then
select the type of recording device you want to record programs to.
