Note:
- We cannot
guarantee compatibility (operation and/or bus power) with all
USB mass storage devices and assume no responsibility for any loss of
data that may occur when connected to this unit.
- With large amounts of data, it may take longer for the system to read the
contents of a USB device.
- Some USB devices may not be properly recognised.
- Even when they are in a supported format, some files may not play or
display depending on the content.
- USB extension cables should be avoided as they may degrade performance.
PVR FUNCTION
The GH5944 can also function as a Personal Video Recorder (PVR),
allowing you to record off-air Digital TV programs onto a USB 2.0 flash drive or
USB 2.0 hard drive.
Media Limitations:
FAT32 and NTFS-formattable USB hard drives are suitable.
Standard drives in a USB adaptor harness are unlikely to work.
Most modern USB Hard drives use the NTFS format file system. This STB
will format most USB hard-drives and flash drives to either the FAT32 or
NTFS formats.
Press “Menu”, select USB > PVR Configure >Format. There will be a short
delay while the drive is inspected, followed by details of the drive size and
format type. Select the File System line, press or to select the format
type, then select the Format line (typically “USB I/C”) then press OK to
format the drive.
Warning:
All existing data and recordings will be erased by the formatting
process. Desired programs should first be copied onto another storage
medium (eg. via a computer's USB connection).
The USB PVR function relies on the use of high quality USB 2.0 drives
( or USB 3.0 drives operating in USB2.0 compatibility mode), and as such
may not be compatible with some specific USB devices.
USB drives up to at least 2 Terabytes (2,000GB) can be used; however
USB-powered drives larger than 500MB may exceed the USB socket's
power rating and need to be powered using an external power supply.
Drives above 500GB may also take an unacceptably long time to start
recording or playing back material.
Most Flash Drives can record Standard Definition TV; drives with slower
memory components may not reliably record HDTV.
Camera Cards (SD etc) may work through a card-to-USB adaptor; but not
all adaptors are compatible with this unit.
There are no line inputs; recording is only possible from digital TV
broadcasts. Recordings are made by directly storing the transmitted data
stream.
