with NTFS formatted disks.
While formatting USB hard drives which have
more than 1TB (Tera Byte) storage space you may
experience some problems in the formatting process.
Wait a little while before each plugging and unplugging
as the player may still be reading files. Failure to do
so may cause physical damage to the USB player
and the USB device itself. Do not pull out your drive
while playing a file.
You can use USB hubs with your TV’s USB inputs.
External power supplied USB hubs are recommended
in such a case.
It is recommended to use the TV’s USB input(s)
directly, if you are going to connect a USB hard disk.

USB Recording
Recording a Programme
IMPORTANT:
When using a new USB hard disk
drive, it is recommended that you first format the
disk using your TV’s
Format Disk
option in the
TV>Recordings>Settings
menu.
To record a programme, you should first connect a USB
disk to your TV while the TV is switched off. You should
then switch on the TV to enable the recording feature.
To use recording your USB drive should have 2 GB free
space and be USB 2.0 compatible. If the USB drive
is not compatible an error message will be displayed.
To record long duration programmes such as movies, it
is recommended to use USB Hard disk drives (HDD’s).
Recorded programmes are saved into the connected
USB disk. If desired, you can store/copy recordings
onto a computer; however, these files will not be
available to be played on a computer. You can play
the recordings only via your TV.
Lip Sync delay may occur during the timeshifting. Radio
record is supported. The TV can record programmes
up to ten hours.
Recorded programmes are split into 4GB partitions.
If the writing speed of the connected USB disk is not
sufficient, the recording may fail and the timeshifting
feature may not be available.
It is recommended to use USB hard disk drives for
recording HD programmes.
Do not pull out the USB/HDD during a recording. This
may harm the connected USB/HDD.
If the AC cord is unplugged while there is an active
USB-recording timer setting, it will be cancelled.
Multipartition support is available. A maximum of two
different partitions are supported. The first partition
of the USB disk is used for USB Recording ready
features. It also must be formatted as the primary
partition to be used for the USB Recording ready
features.
Some stream packets may not be recorded because
of signal problems, as a result sometimes videos may
freeze during playback.
While recording a programme in the background you

functions, such as viewing pictures,
playing video and music files, and even play back the
ongoing recording.
