 The TV supports only FAT32 and 

NTFS disk formatting. However, NTFS format is not 
supported for recording features. For recording, if you 
connect a USB disk with NTFS format, the TV will ask 
you to format the content. See the section, “Format 
Disk” in the following pages for more information on 
disk formatting.
Note that ALL the data stored on the USB disk will 
be lost and then the disk format will be converted to 
FAT32 in such a case.

USB Disk Connection

• Plug your USB device to the USB input of the TV. 

Note: Plug or unplug your USB disk while the TV is 
switched off.
Note: If you are going to connect a USB hard disk drive 
to the TV set, USB connection cable used between 
the disk drive and the TV should have a USB logo 
and should be as short as possible.
Note: While formatting a USB hard disk that has 1TB 
(Tera Byte) or more 

fi

 le capacity, you can experience 

problems with the formatting process. In such a 
case, you should format the disk with your personal 
computer and the formatted disk type should be

For more information on recording programmes, 

• 

see sections “Instant Recording”, “Timeshifting”, 
“Electronic Programme Guide”, “Recordings Library” 
or “Recording Timers” in the following parts.
Recorded programmes are split into 4GB 

• 

partitions. 
Recorded programmes are stored in the following 

• 

directory of the connected USB disk: \DVR\RECS. 
All recordings are indicated with a number. A text 
(txt) 

fi

 le is created for each recording. This text 

file includes information such as broadcaster, 
programme, and recording time.
Timeshifting may be stopped according to USB 

• 

device write speed. If the USB device speed is not 
enough for video stream bitrate, timeshifting may 
be stopped and recording may fail. If HD service 
bitrate is greater than 13 Mbp/sec. some freeze can 
be seen during timeshifting on both USB disk and 
on external HDD.
Recordings of HD programmes can occupy bigger 

• 

size 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.
