connected terminal (AV1 or AV2), and set the timer of the recorder in addition to the Timer Programming on the
TV. For preparations of a recorder, read the manual of the recorder.

When recording programmes to the USB HDD, be sure to register the USB HDD and enable it for recording in the
"USB HDD Setup" (p. 62).

high definition.
