17. Data Logic
What is Data Logic?
Until now, your TV set and your video recorder were two separate and independent devices.
With the new "Data Logic", we have created a dialogue system with which the TV set and the video recorder can exchange data.
Video recorders with Data Logic offer the following functions:
•Automatic transfer of station information for terrestrial or cable reception.
•Direct TV recording:
the video recorder records the programme currently displayed on the TV screen, regardless of whether this comes from a terre- strial antenna, a cable system or a satellite.
•Direct control of recording:
with the menu "AV recording" or "Timer recording".
•Status messages (such as "Timer recording started") are sent from the video recorder to the TV set and displayed there. (Not available on VC Series)
•Automatic switching to the AV programme position (Not available on VC Series).
•Automatic
Video recorders of the Metz VC series, in combination with a Metz TV set with SAT facility, offer you the tremendous advantage of problemfree recording of SAT programmes.
