Precautions when using WinDVR
Refer to the online help of WinDVR for details.
■ TV programs or other visual sources that have been recorded with
WinDVR can be used for personal uses only.
■ When WinDVR is running, do not change the screen resolution or the
color depth setting.
■ Before recording or editing video or sound which is important to you,
run a test session to see if your operations work correctly.
■ Scheduled video recording is not available when your computer is
powered off.
■ When an Internet security software application such as Norton Internet
Security is used, a security message appears at the start of the
scheduled recording, which may prevent recording. Be sure to check
whether the scheduled recording is possible.
■ When setting up a scheduled recording, be sure to check the maximum
recordable time.
■ Be sure to connect the AC adaptor to your computer so that it is
powered by AC power. With the battery power, recording may fail or
sound may skip due to a possible low battery condition.
■ There may be cases where video is not played smoothly depending on
operating conditions or scenes to be played.
■ When the CPU load increases during recording or playing sessions,
a time lag between video and audio may occur. In these cases,
exit WinDVR and all other applications and then restart WinDVR.
■ The video may skip or stop when a shock or vibration is applied to your
computer during recording or playing sessions.
■ You can use a video deck to send the video data on a tape to this
product. However, if the tape is old or has noise, the copy protection
feature is triggered, which may result in improper operation.
■ To receive CATV programs, you need to subscribe to a CATV provider
for each device you will use. To watch or record paid programs, you
may have to use a home terminal (adaptor). For more information, refer
to the manual provided with the adaptor, or contact the CATV company.
■ Contents that are protected by copyright laws may not be recorded or
viewed with WinDVR.
■ The channel auto scan feature sometimes does not detect channels
even if they are normally detected. If it is the case, use the fine-tuning
feature for adjustment.
■ When the CPU load gets high, frame drops or a time lag between video
and audio may occur. For this reason, do not use other applications
while WinDVR is running.
■ Scheduled recording is not available after you have logged off.
