Loewe Xelos 40 Media Operating Instructions Manual page 103

Digital Recorder
DVB Common Interface standard (CI)
If a programme has been recorded coded, the decoding process is carried
out automatically the next night in the standby mode (when timer data
settings do not differ). Please note that the TV set may not be switched
off at the mains overnight and that the CA module with SmartCard must
be inserted in the CI slot of the TV set.
If the recording is not decoded fairly soon after decoding, it may not be
possible to decode it at all. The longer the time between recording and
decoding, the greater the probability that the code is no longer valid.
➠ Scrambled hard disc recordings appear in the timer list until they are
descrambled (page 87).
➠ You can also start decoding manually (see page 97).
➠ Your programme provider may not support later (time offset) descram-
bling.
➠ The playback of encrypted programmes is strongly dependent on
which CA module is used. The playback of encrypted recordings may
sometimes not be possible, or only to a limited extent.
Hint: When possible, record unencrypted programmes or unencrypt
them as soon as possible.
➠ Selection possibilities in the CA module menu and performance ca-
pability of your CA module depend on the type of module used and
the installed software. Consult the manufacturer of the module if you
have any questions.
