Using the Timeshift Mode function
If you missed a live broadcast, you can see from the recorded broadcast using this feature.
When the Timeshift Mode is set to Auto, the TV stores the channel you watch currently to record automatically.
When the Timeshift Mode is set to Manual, if you press the � (Play) button, the TV stores the channel from the point of
view you want to record.

Recorded videos are DRM (digital rights management) protected and cannot be played on a PC or other TVs.
