Timeshifting  

Timeshifting is a truly excellent feature. The next time you feel the call of nature, there will be 
no need to suffer until the commercial break just to make sure that you won't miss a single 
second.  

Note: the Record button is disabled during timeshift playback. 

Interrupting a program—starting timeshift recording 

 

Press the Pause button to pause the current program. The top line of the display 
(channel number, station name, mode) will be displayed in red, and the red Pause 
icon will be displayed to signal that timeshifting is enabled. 

Continuing your viewing—starting timeshift playback 

 

Press the Playback button to continue watching the program from the point at 
which you paused it. 

Interrupting the program again—pausing timeshift playback 

 

Need  to  get  up  again?  Simply  press  the Pause button again during timeshift 
playback to once again pause the program. To continue, press the Playback button 
again, as before. You can repeat this as often as necessary. 

 

Returning to the real-time broadcast (1)—quitting timeshift completely 

 

To quit timeshift playback and recording in order to go back to watching the 
program in real time, press the Stop button. The top line of the display (channel 
number, station name, mode) will once again be displayed in black. The red Pause 
icon will no longer be displayed, indicating that timeshifting is no longer enabled. 
If you have specified in the configuration menu that timeshift recordings should 
not be deleted, you will find the complete recording—from the first interruption, to 
the time you stopped the timeshift by pressing Stop—in the Record folder.
