3. PVR Functions
The major functions of a PVR are time-shifting and recording. This
allows you to pause or re wind l ive TV, and even t o go bac k an d make a
recording of events that have already happened. To perform these
functions, the FV-L1 utilises the internal hard disk drive (HDD).
3-1.
Time-shifting
The FV-L1 retains all received broadcast data from the current service
up to a maximum of 2 hours on the internal HDD. This time-shift
buffer allows you to;
(i) pause a live TV program and resume watching it later, and
(ii) rewind a live TV program and replay it.
The following functions can be used with the time-shift buffer, in the
same manner as if y ou were watchin g a r ec o rded file;
Trick mode: allows fast-forward, rewind, pause, skip and jump.
Bookmark: allows returning to a chosen position easily.
A-B Repeat: allows playing a chosen section repeatedly.
For detailed information about these functions, see the “Movie Playback”
section in Chapter 6.
NOTE
The time-shift buffer will be de leted if you change to another service
or enter t h e F i l e Pla y, Setup or W i z TV modes.
If two services are being recorded simultaneously and you are
watching a third service, the time-shift function for the third service
will be disabled automatically.
Trick-mode operations are not available if there is less than 10
seconds of data in the time-shift buffer.
When your current position in the time-shift buffer is less than 10
seconds from the live broadcast position, you will be automatically
jumped to the live broadcast position.
The time-shift function can be disabled in the Setup menu (see
“Time-shifting” section in Chapter 9).
The time-shift function is not available for radio services
