2.6 USB Functions
The two USB ports, on the rear panel of the device, are mainly to linked external mass memories equipped with
USB 2.0 interface, in order to record digital channel from integrated tuner in the receiver and reproduce personal
multimedia contents, also like with the device such as keyboard (with American keys configuration) and mouse,
useful for the use of application.
2.6.1 Use and warnings
Before proceeding the use of a USB mass storage, as a hard-disk (Hard Disk-HDD Driver) or flash/memory
stick, follow these important rules and warnings below.
2.6.1.1Connection and disk formatting
To take advantage of the video recording function (section 2.6.2), the USB device must be formatted in advance
in FAT32 or NTFS and get a free memory capacity suited to their needs.
At the first connection of a USB memory device or after any formatting, the receiver will ask to initialize the
device to get ready to recording function. For confirmation, the receiver will create a folder named TSPVR that
used by the same receiver as the recording archive.
WARNINGS
It is recommended to use hard drives with external power supply, as the only USB port of the receiver
cannot ensure proper power: risk of damage to the disk and/or receiver!
The receiver is compatible with USB storage devices formatted with FAT32 and NTFS File System.
Compatibility is not guaranteed with all USB memory devices on the market.
2.6.1.2 Disk Removal
For a safe removal of the memory, in order to avoid damage of the device or involved file, we recommend
disconnect the USB memory only during the inactivity of the USB port or, better, when the receiver is in standby
mode.
WARNING
The removal of memory while writing (recording) or read data (reproduction) can damage the contents and the
involved devices.
2.6.2 Personal Video recording (PVR)
Before using a mass storage USB, as a hard-disk (Hard Disk-HDD Driver) or flash/memory stick, follow these
important rules and warnings in section 2.6.1.
2.6.2.1 Recording TV programs
NOTES
The receiver is equipped with a single TV tuner, so it will be able to view and record a program at a time.
Broadcasters may decide to prohibit the recording issues due to the protection of copyrights.
The minimum duration of a recording is 1 minute, otherwise they will be saved to the USB memory.
Instant recording
To start recording manually, tune the desired channel and press the REC button. The receiver will let the user
choose the duration of recording; then press OK to start. To stop recording manually before the predefined end,
press the STOP button and confirm.
Scheduled recording
You can schedule a timer rather than manually recording from the menu settings > Planning Activities >
Timer settings (par. 3.6.2.3).
