Recording from a camera connected to
the front sockets
Using this function, you can store recordings via the front sockets
directly on the HDD. These titles will be automatically protected to
prevent them from being automatically deleted in case the HDD is full.
The symbol '
F
' indicates such a protection.
You can edit these recordings on the HDD and transfer (archive) them
later on a DVD+RW/+R disc. How you archive recordings on a
DVD+RW/+R you will read in the chapter 'Recording on a
DVD+RW/+R' in the section 'Archiving (storing) titles on a
DVD+RW/+R'.
