Recording & Playback
An important feature of your PVR is the record and playback function. The internal hard drive can store up to
30 hours of digital TV broadcast (depending on the data rate of the recorded programme, which is set
automatically by the broadcaster).
Because your PVR has a Twin Tuner you can record one event and watch another programme at the same
time. It is also possible to playback a recording during an active recording. Please note it is not possible to
record two channels at the same time.
The PVR record and playback functions are very similar to those of a VCR. The buttons used for playback
and recording are shown below.
Record Mode
•
The record key starts recording the programme on the current channel being viewed.
If you press the record button again then it is possible to enter the record duration. The PVR will continue
recording until the set duration expires.
•
The stop key stops the recording.
•
Once the record button is pressed the second tuner is then set to record the channel that was being
viewed when the button was pressed (the channel number being recorded will be shown in the display on
the front panel to the right of the channel being viewed and also the record I-Bar will be shown when the
i-key is shown). The main tuner can then be controlled as normal and the second tuner will continue to
record, in the background, on the channel selected when the record button was pressed allowing you to
watch a different channel to the one being recorded.
Playback Mode
The playback key opens the Recordings list screen where a previously recorded event can be selected
•
for playback. (See the chapter Recordings list for detailed information)
•
The stop key stops playback.
•
To pause the playback press the pause key.
•
Once the playback is paused, advance the recording one frame at a time by repeatedly pressing the
pause key.
•
Pressing fast forward in pause mode activates slow motion playback. Repeatedly pressing the fast
forward key cycles through 1/8x, 1/4x and 1/2x slow motion speeds.
•
During normal playback, skip forwards or backwards two minutes by pressing either the right or left cursor
buttons respectively.
•
The rewind and fast forward keys can be used to navigate during playback. Pressing either key
repeatedly will change the rewind / forward speed. Please note the OSD symbols indicating whatever
function is active during playback.
