Pausing a TV Broadcast
(TV Pause/Pause Live TV)
You can pause a current TV broadcast, and
record it on the HDD, then continue watching
the programme at a later time. This is useful
when you receive an unexpected phone call
or visitor while watching TV.
When connecting the recorder to your TV
using the SCART jack, do the followings.
– set “SMARTLINK” to “This Recorder
Only” in the “Options” setup (page 126).
– set “TV Pause” to “TV’s Tuner” in the
“Options 2” setup (page 127).
– preset programme positions by
downloading from your TV using
“Download from TV” of “Auto Channel
Setting” in the “Tuner” setup (page 111).
If you do not make the SCART connection,
set “TV Pause” to “Recorder’s Tuner” in the
“Options 2” setup (page 127).
