2.5” and 3.5” inch (hdd with external power supply) external hard disk drives are supported.

To record a programme, you should first connect a USB disk to your TV while the TV is switched off. You should then switch on the TV to enable recording feature. Otherwise, recording feature will not be available.

It is possible that certain types of USB devices (e.g. MP3 Players) or USB hard disk drives/memory sticks may not be compatible with this TV.

IMPORTANT: The TV supports only FAT32 disk formatting. NTFS format is not supported. If you connect a USB disk with NTFS format, the TV will ask you to format the content. See the section, “Format Disk” in the following pages for more information on disk formatting.

Note that ALL the data stored on the USB disk will be lost and then the disk format will be converted to FAT32 in such a case.

Note: Plug or unplug your USB disk while the TV is switched off.

Note: If you are going to connect a USB hard disk drive to the TV set, USB connection cable used between the disk drive and the TV should have a USB logo and should be as short as possible.

CAUTION !

Quickly plugging and unplugging USB devices, is a very hazardous operation. Especially, do not repeatedly quickly plug and unplug the drive. This may cause physical damage to the USB player and especially the USB device itself.

Programme Recording

To record a programme, you should first 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 first format the disk using your TV’s “Format Disk” option.

To use the recording function a USB 2.0 certified 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) file is created for each recording. This text file includes information such as broadcaster, programme, and recording time.

If the writing speed of the connected USB disk is not sufficient, 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.
