4. Record
Press the Red button to book a DTV program for future recording and add it to the
Schedule List. Once the Record settings are in place, the TV will make the recording
even if the TV is in Standby power mode. Move the cursor to the bottom of the
Recorder screen to first select from Auto, Once, Everyday or Weekly recording options.
Then, apart from the Auto option, you can adjust the start and stop times to account for
changes in the TV station’s schedules, as many programs are not always transmitted
at the time stated in the EPG; most programs often run a few minutes late. To avoid
missing the end of a program, you can modify the finish time manually, e.g. a finish
time of 14:30 can be manually “bumped ” to 14:40 to ensure the entire program gets
recorded.
9. PVR function
1). Prepare to record the program
Before the PVR function can be used, a suitable USB storage device (USB flash-drive
or USB hard-drive) must be connected to the USB socket on the rear side panel of the
TV. The USB storage device should only be connected or disconnected when the TV is
switched off. The USB PVR function relies on the use of high quality USB drives, with
higher speed models likely to provide improved performance. From the Option
Menu enter into the PVR File System and choose “check PVR File System”. Click “OK”,
and wait until “checking” changes into “Success”.
Note: please check the result marked “Speed”. If it is “FULL HD support”, that means
the speed of your USB device is suitable for time shift and record functions. If not,
please format the device, to make sure the USB device is capable of handling the
recording functions. The default “Free Record Limit” is 6 hours, if the space on the
disk is big enough. If the space is not big enough, the record time will be shorter,
depending on the capacity of the device. During the “check PVR File System” checking,
please do not take any other operation until it is finished.
The recordings have to be done from within the TV PVR system. The recordings
can only be played in the same TV, and generally not in any other kind of devices
(computer, DVD, etc...) which are not compatible with the .TS file format.
In order to carry out any kind of recording, the TV will oblige you to format the
connected USB device to store the recording. The High Speed format option is
recommended for better HDTV recording results.
WARNING. WHEN YOU FORMAT THE EXTERNAL USB DEVICE YOU WILL LOSE ALL
THE FILES AND INFORMATION STORED ON THE DEVICE.
From the OPTION MENU, enter into the PVR File System as below:
