Formatting The Hard Disk - Topfield TF 5000 PVRt User Manual

7.8 Formatting the hard disk 59

At the top of the panel, you will see a message that says Turbo
Off. Turbo mode is a way of speeding up the transfer of files
to and from the digital receiver. You can click the circle to the
left of the message to turn turbo mode on or off.
Turbo mode makes transferring files faster, but the digital re-
ceiver stops responding to commands from the remote con-
trol. If you want to use the digital receiver while transferring,
or if any scheduled recordings are due to start, you should not
use turbo mode.
NOTE
You cannot play back the recordings with a regular MPEG
player on your computer because they are formatted differ-
ently from the standard MPEG format.
Visit or

7.8 Formatting the hard disk
To format the hard disk of the digital receiver, select the Instal-
lation Format Hard Disk menu.

If a new hard disk drive is installed, it must be formatted be-
cause the file system of the digital receiver is different from
any of the personal computer. You can neither record nor use
time shift with an unformatted hard disk.
