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 control.
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

ently from the standard MPEG format.

You can delete all contents stored in the hard disk drive by
formatting it. If you wish to do that, select the Installation
Format Hard Disk menu, then you are asked for confirmation.

CAUTION
Formatting the hard disk will delete all files permanently.
NOTE
If a new hard disk drive is installed, it must be formatted
because 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.
