Occasionally the DTR may miss the start or the end of the recording. This is not fault of the unit, as the 
broadcaster may not have updated the information. 
 
 

 

 

 
 
 
 
 
 

 

 
To  configure  the  playback/recording  options  select  the  "Recordings..."  option  from  the  configuration 
menu. The following option are available for adjustment: 

5.1.1. MAX TIMESHIFT

timeshifting. 

See 

below 

for 

more 

information on timeshifting 

5.1.2. AUTO DISCARD 

Discard:

 When the HDD is full and a timer 

is  set  to  record,  the  unit  will  automatically 
discard  previous  recordings  based  on  this 
setting. The options are as follows: 
None:  The  unit  will  not  discard  any 
recordings and the timer will not record the 
requested programme. 
Oldest:  Starting with the oldest, recordings 
will  be  deleted  to  make  space  for  the 
requested timer. 
Longest:  Starting with the longest, recordings will be deleted to make space for the requested timer. 
Shortest:  Starting with the shortest, recordings will be deleted to make space for the requested timer. 

Unplayed:

  If  this option is set  to  "EXCLUDED" any  unplayed  recordings  will  NOT be  deleted.  If  this 

option is set to "INCLUDED", unplayed recordings WILL be deleted.

 

5.1.3. FORMAT DISK 

On rare occasions the Hard Disk  may malfunction, in most cases formatting the Hard Disk will restore 
normal  operation  however  ALL  the  data  stored  on  the  Hard  Disk  will  be  lost.  Press  OK  when  the   
“Format Disk” option is highlighted. A menu appears, in which you will be asked for a pin code. If you 
have not changed the pin code, the factory default is 0000. After you enter it, a pop-up menu appears 
on the screen to ensure that the hard disk should be formated, select "YES" and press OK to format 
the Hard Disk. Select "NO" and press OK to cancel. Ensure you dub important recordings onto
