Everyday Use
Using Standby
When you’re not watching TV, you should set the Digital TV recorder to Standby. Press the
[ ] button to switch between On (Blue Power ring LED on the front panel) and Standby
(Red power LED on the front panel). This unit has a low power feature which means that
when left in Standby for a long period, it may take longer to power up.
It is safe to put the Digital TV recorder into Standby when you have set programmes to
record. The Digital TV recorder will automatically wake up from Standby to make the
recording. If you plan to leave the Digital TV recorder unattended for a long period and have
not set any programmes to record, put the Digital TV recorder into Standby and wait for 20
seconds before switching it off at the mains socket. If the mains socket doesn’t have a switch
unplug the AC mains adapter.
Automatic Standby
To help reduce the amount of electricity it uses, the Digital TV recorder will automatically
switch into Standby after 3 hours of inactivity. If you are still watching TV at this time, a
screen will be displayed allowing you to stop the Digital TV recorder entering Standby.
If no button is pressed while this screen is displayed, the Digital TV recorder will enter
Standby after a few seconds. It is possible to deactivate automatic Standby by setting the
Auto Standby option in the General Settings menu to Off. Refer to page 35.
