Digital PVR

General points

Your (Re)playBOX contain a hard drive (HD). The hard drive capacity of 40 GigaOctets

allow you to record about 25 hours. The duration is roughly because it depends on the

rate of the emission you are recorded. In general, you need to count 1.5 Go per recording

hour, but some emissions or channels might need 2Go/h or more.

The Digital PVR offers you the classic functions of recording, read, fast forward etc. At the

opposite as the VCR with Band, you have no loss of quality. But the biggest interest about

the digital PVR is the function to allow you to move the time (Time-Shift). The function

allows you to pause on an emission in direct, then “read” again when you want. You can

then answer the phone, for example, without loosing any details of the emission you are

watching. Go to § 18-F for more details.

The hard drive has not been designed as a long last storage tool. Like a computer, you

have some risks of loosing some data. So, if you record an emission or a movie that you

want to keep, we advise you to save it on a cassette, like we explained in § 16.

Hard drive adjustment

When you pause on direct (Time-Shifts), the hard drive needs to rotate to not loose any-

thing of the action in progress. If the hard drive is in standby, you need about 10 seconds

to initialise the hard drive. After the switching on and after each use, the hard drive goes

in standby after sometime to save energy and make your (Re)playBOX quieter.

To choose the time after the hard drive goes in standby:

• Go into Menu /

Hard Drive

• On the row

hard drive standby

, choose a duration between 5 to 30 minutes. If you

choose

stop

, the hard drive goes immediately in standby. If you choose always ON, the

hard drive will always be ready for the Time-Shift.

The Menu /

Hard Drive / Hard drive

Info gives you some information on the hard drive,

and mainly the size of the disc used. Even if you have not done any recording 10 to 11%

of the disc space is occupied. This is because of the space reserved for the Time-Shift,

which is about 4Go, about 2 hours.

In case of a problem with the digital PVR functioning, you might have to format the hard

drive, like you could do for a computer. Formatting allow you as well to reduce the scan-

ning time at start up, if it taking too long. For that, go into the menu Menu /

hard drive /

format

, enter the Pin code and wait a few minutes.

Warning: this operation will erase all the recording.
