Recording functions

Record the current programme

Your DTH 8005 has recording functions similar to a video recorder. It records programmes on DVD (DVD+R, DVD+RW) type discs.The recording time depends on the quality and can be adjusted according to the time remaining on a disc or can be automatically adjusted if the SmartRecord™ function has been activated (see page 53).The recording may be immediate or deferred. Deferred programming is explained on page 22. For immediate recording follow the instructions below.

4.Open the DVD tray by pressing the OPEN/CLOSE key. Put in a disc DVD+RW or DVD+R. The printed side upwards, (double-sided discs have concentric marks around the central hole on each side of the disc). Close the tray using the OPEN/CLOSE key.Where necessary select a recording quality or activate the SmartRecord™ function in order to automatically adapt the quality in relation to the time remaining on the disc. See the Recording Quality paragraph and / or SmartRecord™ paragraph on page 53.

Note: Disc Formatting - When you insert a DVD+RW disc for the first time, your DTH 8005 must first format the disc. This operation may take several minutes (up to 10 minutes), however you can begin recording on the disc shortly after beginning the formatting process (after around 10 to 20 seconds). FORMAT DSC remains displayed during this operation on the display.

5.Press once on the REC key of the remote control or on the RECORD key on the façade of your DTH 8005 to record the current programme until the end of the disc.To record for a short period, press the REC button several times. Each press increments the time by 30 minutes up to a maximum of 3 hours, if the recording quality and the time remaining on the disc are sufficient (see page 53).

Recording starts.

RECORD is displayed for a few moments on the display of the DTH 8005.The red signal lamp on the façade lights and confirms that recording has started.

The information banner appears for several seconds on the screen of your television.The information that is displayed confirms the channel, the programme being recorded and the time remaining on the disc.

Note: after several seconds the information banner disappears.You can redisplay it using the INFO key on the remote control.

Changing the channel during recording is not possible. To watch another channel during the recording session, select it directly on the television set, using its own remote control handset.

With each recording session the name and programme parameters recorded on the disc are automatically placed in the library memory of your DTH 8005. The library can contain up to 200 programme names recorded on different discs.
