Programme Recording
To record a programme, you should rst connect a USB disk to your
TV while the TV is switched off. You should then switch on the TV to
enable recording feature.
IMPORTANT: When using a new USB hard disk drive, it is recommended
that you rst format the disk using your TV’s “Format Disk” option.
To use the recording function a USB 2.0 certied device of at least •
1GB should be used, If the connected USB device is not USB 2.0 an
error message will be displayed.
Recorded programmes are saved into the connected USB disk in .TS •
format (MPEG-2 transport stream). If desirable, you can back up /
copy these saved recordings into a personal computer.
Note: It is possible that recorded broadcasts in .TS format may not be
supported by your media playback software. In such a case, you should
install an appropriate media playback software to your computer.
An hour of the recordings stored occupies approximately 2 GB of •
space.
For more information on recording programmes, see sections •
“Instant Recording”, “Timeshifting”, “Electronic Programme Guide”,
“Recordings Library” or “Recording Timers” in the following parts.
Recorded programmes are split into 1GB partitions. Names of the •
stored recordings’ last three digits indicates this: Such as 4801-000.
ts , 4801-001.ts.
Recorded programmes are stored in the following directory of the •
connected USB disk: \DVR\RECS. All recordings are indicated with
a number (such as 4801-000.ts). A text (txt) le is created for each
recording. This text le includes information such as broadcaster,
programme, and recording time.
If the writing speed of the connected USB disk is not sufcient, •
recording may fail and timeshifting feaute may not be available.
Recordings of HD programmes can occupy bigger size on the •
USB disk depending on the broadcast’s resolution. For this reason
it is recommended to use USB hard disk drives for recording HD
programmes.

the connected USB/HDD.
Only two partitions on a HDD unit can be supported.•
Some stream packets may not be recorded because of signal •
problems, so sometimes video may freezes during playback.

be used when teletext is ON. If a recording starts from timer when
teletext is ON, teletext is automatically turned off. Also teletext usage
is disabled when there is ongoing recording or playback.

the following message will appear on the screen: “There is not enough
space for ‘event’ but it will be recorded until the drive is full”.
