Pressing RECORD repeately sets a limit on the recording time. If WEB Schedule is enabled and the channel is mapped, the default recording time is automatically set to the end of the program.

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 VR-558's Hard Disk while the television screen is on pause mode. For that you need to watch a TV program through the VR-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 VR-558 carries on recording. You can navigate through this on-going recording by pressing the FAST FORWARD and REWIND buttons.
