✔Simultaneous recording/playback

You don’t have to sit and wait until the recording ends. You can play DVDs or programmes already recorded in the HDD while recording.

✔Instant replay

You jump back 40 seconds at the press of a button to watch the scene again. The live picture is shown at the same time in the PIP window.

✔Copying your recordings to a video/DVD recorder

Recordings which you wish to watch repeatedly on a long-term basis should be burnt to a DVD or transferred to a video recorder. The programme can then be deleted from the archive. For data transmission to external equipment, you can do this by using the “Copy” command.

✔Archiving the time-shifted recording

You can also decide to copy the whole TV programme into the Digital Recorder’s archive at the end of a TV programme you have been watching with a time shift.

✔Fast navigation by jumping

Jump backwards and forwards in the programme at the press of a button.

The jump distance is adjustable.

In addition, the special function “Smart jump” ensures that for each change in jump direction the jump distance is cut in half. This way you can feel your way quickly to a certain spot in the time shift playback.

Limitation during PIP operation

If on the main screen you see the live picture and you open the PIP picture, generally the background recording for time-shift TV is ended and deleted. With archive recording and time-shift TV, there may be limitations on the stations which you can select for the PIP picture.

✔Fast forward and rewind

You can fast forward and rewind at three different speeds in the programme you are viewing. (Rewind is not possible with HDTV.)

✔Slow motion

You can watch the programme you are viewing at four different slow motion speeds.

✔Setting bookmarks

During a football match, for example, you can flag goals or exciting scenes. (For this, the time-shift recording is converted into an archive recording.) For later playback, you can play bookmarks as highlights.
