The multi-media functions of the HDD/DVD recorders go far beyond simply playing back fi lms, music and

images. You have endless options for practical, straightforward networking with other devices. Simply hook
up a portable audio player and enjoy your music played back directly through the recorder. Naturally, you can also copy your
favourite tracks quickly and easily to the hard disk for archiving purposes. And if you have music stored on your PC, you can
connect it and use Windows Media Player to copy all of your MP3 or Windows Media Audio tracks to the recorder's hard disk.
JPEG images saved on a memory stick or digital camera can also be viewed directly via the recorder, or copied at lightning
speed onto its hard disk.
You decide what's on when.
Genuinely convenient recording is all about putting you in control. The user-friendly Electronic Programme
Guide lets you browse through the T V schedule, sort by programmes, time or category, at your leisure. It also
lets you store personal favourites and decide what you want to watch or record next. All this at the touch of a button.
Loss of quality? No way!
HDMI is the first and best choice when it comes to
