  • Page 78 GLOSSARY ­ - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Symbolrate This is the number of transmitted symbols in the digital transmission technology per time unit Timeshift You can pause the programme you are watch- ing. This is a useful function, for example if the telephone rings while you are watching a film and you do not want to miss anything. The programme is saved in the time¬shift memo- ry of the external data medium. A maximum of 60 minutes of the current programme can be recorded in the time shift memory. Transponder A transponder receives data on a satellite and then transmits it again. For example, an earth station can transmit data signals for television channels to a geostationary satellite, which sends this back to earth. Any suitable satellite antenna with visual contact to the satellite can receive the signal. USB-Recording Enables recording and playback of television programmes with digital television channels (DVB-S, DVB-T and DVB-C). This depends on the broadcaster. Recording and playback of programmes can only be carried out using an external data me- dium (hard drive or USB stick). Vibrant­Colour Increases the colour contrast and the contrast adjustment. This setting is mostly too strong for use with normal pictures and should only be used where necessary (low or off) otherwise nuances in the image can be suppressed. 78­ ENGLISH...
