The DVR function (

ecorder) means you no longer have to use an
external recorder (e.g. video or DVD recorder) to record programmes, as you can use this
function to record them to the internal hard disk.
DVR recordings of programmes can be made from sources such as DVB-S, DVB-C,
DVB-T and analogue CT as well as the external sources A/V (front) and EuroAV.
When doing so, be sure to note the notes and settings under section 7 of the quick
start guide.
7.1 DVR recording
The following recording modes are available for DVR recording:
1. Instant recording
Select this type of recording to immediately record the programme currently being broadcast
at the push of a button.
2. Timer-controlled recording
This function is used to ensure that your television is switched on and off again for the
selected broadcast to make a recording, for example when you are out. You can do this by
programming the timer either manually or automatically, using the SFIplus.
3. Timeshift recording
Timeshift recording enables time-shifted TV viewing. You can start to play back a programme
while it is still recording (= time-shifting).
