When entering the scheduled recording menu (by pressing the TIMER key of
the remote control) and setting an immediate recording (scheduled to start in
less than 5 minutes), do not put the unit into standby mode afterwards (by
pressing standby key), or the recording may be cancelled.
–
Please note that you will not be able to switch to another DVB -T channel
while a recording is in process. Indeed, the current DVB -T tuner is dedicated
on the current channel to record, and therefore another channel cannot be
watched simultaneously. If you wish to watch another channel while a
recording is in progress, you are therefore advised to switch to your satellite
receiver or any other reception device connected to your TV .
Notes on recording and USB functions
–
Information on the recording format: Recording is done in MPEG-TS format
which allows recording in HD quality identical to the signal received. To play
your recordings on another multimedia device, it may be necessary to install
a compatible video codec.
–
If you want to record a film or a long program, use a memory stick of larger
capacity (eg. 4GB). If you want to save several films, opt for external hard
drives of large capacity.
–
The loading time of the USB device is too long: When you insert a USB
support, the loading time can sometimes be a minute or more. This depends
on the size of your support, the number of files on it and, above all, the
complexity of its directories. You can reduce loading time by avoiding the use
of multiple sub- directories in your USB disk. Avoid such
multiple-subdirectories like
“Directory/Subdirectory/Sub-subdirectory/....”
and store files in a single simple directory.

USB Device Recognition Problems
o
After connecting your USB device to the unit, you may need to turn the
device on before it can be detected by the receiver.
o
This unit does not support direct USB connection with computer. It is
necessary for you to transfer your data/files on a USB stick or MP3 player.
o
If you are using an external hard drive to be connected via USB, you must
connect the hard drive simultaneously with a power source and with the
unit. If you are using a portable video player with hard drive, you must make
sure that the internal battery is fully charged.
o
Verify that the file system of your USB device is properly formatted in FAT
32. USB media formatted in NTFS is not compatible with this unit. If your
USB drive formatted in FAT 32 is not recognized by this receiver, it is
recommended as a last resort that you format your hard drive on this unit.
For this please follow the steps described on the previous page. Before
doing so, please refer to the manual of your USB device to ensure that
formatting is possible without altering its functionality.
o
The USB device used may not be fully compatible with USB 2.0. In this
case, try a different USB stick in order to identify the problem.

Recording Quality
o
If your recording is shaky or choppy
– The data stream to be recorded is
very important. Certain USB sticks, even some new USB 2.0 ones, do not
allow sufficient data transfer rate. If this happens, try with a newer USB
device or with an external hard drive. With external hard drives, data
transfer rate is sufficiently high and this problem should be solved.
o
Remark on the size of recorded files
– To ensure maximum compatibility
with all the USB drives, recording file size is limited to 232MB. For this
reason, a single recording session may be divided into several files. This
unit will, however, treat them as a single file for playback.
