Simultaneous recording and playback
Thanks to the built-in HDD and the high data rates it can achieve, you can record and play back at the same time.
This enables you to:
•
watch, pause, or rewind a TV show while it is being recorded (FlexTime, Pause live TV)
•
watch a TV show stored on the HDD while another recording is being made
•
playback a DVD while the HDD records a TV show.
•
store (archive) a TV show from the HDD to a DVD+RW/+R while another show is being recorded on the HDD.
Media Browser
The Media Browser provides an overview of all the recordings on the HDD. You can display a list of all
recordings according to certain criteria ('
Recording Date
', '
Protected
'...). You can select recordings
in the Media Browser for playback, editing, or storage on a DVD+RW/+R (archiving). Moreover, you
can lock recordings that you can only play back after entering a valid PIN code. If you haven't entered a
PIN code yourself, then the PIN code is '0000'.

Archiving titles on a DVD+RW/+R
You can copy (archive) recordings from the HDD to a DVD+RW/+R.
To do so, select the desired recording in the Media Browser and press the '
ARCHIVE
' colour function button. That's all!
Since the archiving process will take some time, you can switch to a different TV programme in the meantime by pressing
CHANNEL

,
CHANNEL
r
. Please note that you cannot use the FlexTime, Instant Replay, and Pause LiveTV features of the Time Shift Buffer or play back a
recording from the HDD during the archiving process, since the HDD is already playing back a recording (copying from the HDD to the
DVD+RW/+R). Nevertheless, it is possible to make recordings into the Time Shift Buffer (the Time Shift Buffer is filled). If you turn off the DVD
recorder using
STANDBY
m
, the archiving process will continue until it is completed, and then the DVD-Recorder will switch off automatically.
Time Shift Buffer (continued)
The Time Shift Buffer is the heart of your 'HDRW 720/69'. All recordings, except those via the front sockets, will be made into the Time Shift
Buffer first.
You can mark a recording to be stored permanently on the HDD.
Recordings are copied on the HDD when:
•
the preset Time Shift Buffer period expires (the default setting is 3 hours)
•
the Time Shift Buffer is deleted ('

•
you switch to camera mode using

•

You can either set markers yourself or the DVD recorder can set such markers automatically, e.g. : timer recordings. The Time Shift Buffer keeps
record of which TV shows you watched during the last hours. This is shown using the so-called time bar with a series of recorded programmes on
the screen.
On the right-hand side, you can see a moving IIIIIIIIII symbol indicating that the Time Shift Buffer is being filled.
On the left-hand side, you can also see a moving IIIIIIIIII symbol indicating that the Time Shift Buffer is being emptied, i.e. recordings are being
