Easy recording

Turn on the Player and select the desired channel with the Up/Down buttons on the remote. Once the desired channel appears on the TV screen, press RECORD on the remote. The content from the TV channel is recorded onto the Hard Disk at the quality previously chosen. When recording is finished, press the STOP button.

Time Shifting

Time Shifting makes it possible to pause live TV if you need to go away from it for any reason. It allows you to pause the running program and start it again at any given moment. It works by saving the watched TV program on the DP-558's Hard Disk while the television screen is on pause mode. For that you need to watch a TV program through the DP-558. Just press PLAY/PAUSE. The TV will freeze, recording will start in the pre-set quality. Press the PLAY/PAUSE button again to resume watching. You will be able to carry on watching your program while the DP-558 carries on recording. You can navigate through this on-going recording by pressing the FAST FORWARD and REWIND buttons.
