TIME SHIFTING (PAUSE LIVE RECORDING)

mode.
The
timeshift
information will be shown in the I-Bar and
the pause symbol will be shown in the top
left corner of the screen. The maximum
duration of Timeshift can be adjusted from
recordings submenu of the configuration
menu in the Configuration menu (see
above for details). To start viewing the

TEXT
Many digital terrestrial television channels not only broadcast pictures and sound for programmes but
also pages of information on the programmes, the weather, news and many other topics. This digital
teletext can be displayed by this DTR. Some channels are entirely given over to digital teletext and
carry no normal TV programme at all.
These dedicated digital teletext channels will not give a quarter-screen image in the Channel List
screen. When such a channel is selected, after a brief pause, they will usually display the opening
page of information automatically. Other channels have digital teletext pages broadcast alongside the
television programme and often include a reduced-size broadcast picture within digital teletext pages.
These usually require the TEXT button to be pressed to activate the digital teletext pages.In both
cases, moving through the different pages of information is accomplished in a variety of ways,
dependent on the individual broadcasters, but normally the " / / / "are used to navigate to a
page title and the OK Key is used to enter a page or confirm a selection. The coloured keys are often
used to jump directly to particular pages.
It is possible to exit teletext mode by pressing the TEXT button on the remote or by changing channel.
WIDE
TV sets are available with screens of the standard (4:3) format and widescreen (16:9) format. When
the DTR is first installed the format of the connected TV is specified (this can also be altered if
necessary; via the configuration menu) Digital terrestrial television broadcasts are also made in both
standard and widescreen formats. In particular, films and dramas tend to be broadcast in widescreen
format to closer emulate the cinema experience, but some programmes such as news bulletins are
4:3. So long as the DTR has been correctly set up for the TV set connected, a widescreen programme
will always be displayed correctly on a widescreen set, and a standard format programme will correctly
fill the screen of a standard format TV.
With a widescreen TV set displaying a standard format programme the WIDE key switches between
displaying the picture with black bars down the sides, and enlarging the picture so that it fills the whole
width of the screen but the top and bottom are cropped off. With a standard format TV displaying a
widescreen programme, the WIDE key switches between displaying the picture with black bars at the
top and bottom of the screen, and filling the whole height of the screen but cropping the sides off
