Possible limitations when using an external data medium
Depending on the broadcaster, you may experi- ence various restrictions on some of the functions from some television channels.
GRUNDIG has no influence on these restrictions.
■Recording a programme on the external data medium can be disabled by the broadcaster. If the message »URI* protected! PVR function is blocked« appears on the screen, then re- cording or timeshift is restricted (one recording possible) or disabled (recording not possible) by the broadcaster.
* URI = User right information (Copyright in- formation).
■If you record and save a programme on the archive of an external data medium, playback can be restricted.
The broadcaster can allow you to view this programme one or more times, but it may only be available for a certain period of time.
■Programmes not suitable for minors will require the input of a PIN number immediately before recording starts. If this authorisation is not given, the recording may not start.
■Copying a programme from a digital television channel onto a video or DVD recorder using the »AV 1« socket (analogue picture/ sound signal) can also be restricted by the broadcaster. Prerequisite is that your device supports the copying function.
