Recording & Playback
An important feature of your PVR is the record and playback function. The internal hard drive can store more
than 60 hours of digital TV broadcast (depending on the data rate of the recorded programme) which is set
automatically by the broadcaster) and the following chapter will help you to make full use of it.
The PVR record and playback functions are very similar to those of a VCR. The buttons used for playback
and recording are shown below.

The record key starts recording the programme on the current channel.
To automatically record for 30 minutes press the record button again, to record for 60 minutes press the
record button a third time etc.
The PVR will continue recording until the set duration expires.

forward key cycles through 1/8x, 1/4x and 1/2x slow motion speeds.

buttons respectively.
