CAUTION !
Quickly plugging and unplugging USB devices,
•
is a very hazardous operation. Do not repeatedly
quickly plug and unplug the drive. This may cause
physical damage to the USB player or the USB
device itself.
Do not pull out USB device while playing or recording
•
a file.
Programme Recording
To record a programme, you should first connect a
USB disk to your TV while the TV is switched off.
You should then switch on the TV to enable recording
feature.
IMPORTANT:
When using a new USB hard disk drive,
it is recommended that you first format the disk using
your TV’s “Format Disk” option.
To use the recording function a USB 2.0 certified
•
device of at least 1GB should be used, If the
connected USB device is not USB 2.0 an error
message will be displayed.
Recorded programmes are saved onto the connected
•
USB disk in .TS format (MPEG-2 transport stream).
If desirable, you can back up / copy these saved
recordings into a personal computer.
Note:
It is possible that recorded broadcasts in
TS format may not be supported by your media
playback software. In such a case, you should install
an appropriate media playback software to your
computer.
An hour of the recordings stored occupies
•
approximately 2 GB of space.
For more information on recording programmes,
•
see sections “Instant Recording”, “Timeshifting”,
“Electronic Programme Guide”, “Recordings Library”
or “Recording Timers”.
Recorded programmes are stored in the following
•
directory of the connected USB disk: \DVR\RECS.
All recordings are indicated with a number (such
as 4801-000.ts). A text (txt) file is created for each
recording. This text file includes information such as
broadcaster, programme, and recording time.
If the writing speed of the connected USB disk is
•
not sufficient, recording may fail and the timeshifting
feature may not be available.
Recordings of HD programmes can occupy more
•
space on the USB disk depending on the broadcast’s
resolution. For this reason it is recommended
to use USB hard disk drives for recording HD
programmes.
Do not unplug the USB/HDD during the recording.
•
This may harm the connected USB/HDD.
Only two partitions on a HDD unit can be
•
supported.
Some stream packets may not be recorded because
•
of signal problems, so sometimes video may freeze
during playback.
Record, Play, Pause, Display (for PlayListDialog)
•
keys cannot be used when teletext is ON. If a
recording starts from timer when teletext is ON,
teletext is automatically turned off. Also teletext
usage is disabled when there is ongoing recording
or playback.
Note:
If the recording time of an event is longer than
the memory capacity, the following message will
appear on the screen: “There is not enough space for
‘event’ but it will be recorded until the drive is full”.
