RECORDING/PLAYBACK ON HDD DECK (cont.)

Live Memory

Playback

Equipped with a hard disk drive, this recorder allows information to be written to and read from the hard disk at high speeds. Taking advantage of this feature, you can temporarily record programmes received with the tuner or from an externally connected equipment, and can watch them only a few seconds behind actual air time.

In this recorder, viewing a programme through HDD (not a recorded programme) means you are always watching the programme temporarily recorded on it.

This feature enables you to reverse the programme back to view any previous part of it. This is called “Live Memory Playback”, which was impossible until now.

You can select the length of the time for temporary recording from off, 30 minutes, 1 hour, and 3 hours ( pg. 75).

About “Live Memory Playback”

With a certain amount of space (for 30 minutes, 1 hour and 3 hours) reserved on the hard disk, the recorder records broadcasts being received or signals input from an externally connected equipment.

Even while you are reversing the programme to review any previous part, the recorder continues recording the same programme or externally-input signals.

NOTE:

When the reserved amount of time (or space) runs out, the recorder overwrites the previous recordings on the hard disk, starting with the oldest one, repeatedly if necessary. After having recorded a certain number of programmes, if you try to increase the amount of your reserved time on HDD, you may not be allowed to do so because of possible lack of available space, and the recorder will inform you of this by displaying a message on the screen.

Turn on the TV and select the AV mode.
