and be USB 2.0 compatible. If available, USB 3.0 compatible
devices can be used too with the optional USB 3.0 input on the
side of the TV, which will be positioned above the other USB
input. 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.

partitions are supported. The first partition of the USB disk is
used for PVR ready features. It also must be formatted as the
primary partition to be used for the PVR ready features.
Some stream packets may not be recorded because of signal
problems, as a result sometimes videos may freeze during
