General
As soon as you turn on the DVD recorder, the currently selected TV
channel on the DVD-Recorder is recorded in a temporary storage
(Time shift Buffer).
Recordings in the time shift buffer will be automatically deleted e.g.
after 3 hours if the period of the time shift buffer is set to 3 hours
(factory setting). Only recordings marked in the Time shift Buffer will
be stored on the the built-in HDD For more information, read the
next section 'The Time Shift Buffer'.
The following additional information is stored with each recording:
•) name of the recording
If no name is recognized from the TV Guide On Screen
™
systems data,
only the program number (program name) and the time will be stored
as the name.
•) length of the recording
•) recording mode (quality)
•) date of the recording
•) index picture of the recording
To facilitate the search of a specific position, a chapter marker is
recorded every 5 minutes. How you switch off this function you will
read in chapter 'User preferences for the HDD' in the section
'Preferences/Chapters'. After the recording is completed, you can
select these markers with N , O . Please make sure that the
chapter selection is activated (the 'CHAPTER' symbol lights up in the
info bar at the top of the screen). If necessary, you can activate it using
T/C .
The Time shift Buffer
As a result of the high data transfer speed of the HDD, it is possible to
play back recordings from the time shift buffer while the recording is
still in process.
Therefore, you can jump back to the currently selected TV
programusing JUMP BACK and watch a scene again.
Moreover, you can use all playback features such as still picture, slow
motion, search by time, search with N , O even with recordings
that are still in the time shift buffer.
In the meantime, the recording continues.
If you change the TV channel on the DVD-Recorder ( CHANNEL q ,
CHANNEL r ) a new title is created with the new TV channel in the
time shift buffer. If you watch a TV show only for a short time (less
than 60 seconds) before you change to a different TV channel, no new
title is created.
For easier navigation, you can change the time period of the time shift
buffer from 1 to 6 hours. 1 hour means that a recording is available
only for one hour before it is automatically deleted to make room for
the current recording.
If the TV Guide On Screen
™
system delivers title information, the latter
is also stored with the recording. When recording TV shows without
TV Guide On Screen
™
information, only the date and the time of the
recording are stored as title.
What is the advantage from 1 hour and 6 hours?
The complete time periode of the time will be displayed on the whole screen
of your TV.
With 1 hour you will get the highest comfort for searching a specific scene.
With 6 hours you will get the highest possible recording time.
Please observe that the Time shift Buffer needs also storage capacity on the
HDD. Depending of the selected record mode (picture quality):
6 hours in 'M1' = approx. 28GB
6 hours in 'M8' = approx. 3,4GB
How you enter the time periode, read in the chapter 'User preferences for
the HDD' in the section 'Preferences'/'Recording'/ 'HDD buffer'.
