Making use of PVR recording function
PVR recording
- digital only -
This TV provides PVR (personal video recorder) recording function, which allows the viewer to pause and rewind any DTV program (that is, time shifting function), as well as record and play back selected programs. The program content will be recorded in a digital format onto an external memory device (such as USB device, memory card, or other mass storage device).
Below all operations in this section require the external memory device be connected with the TV.
Otherwise the operation can not be done.
Before proceeding, please pay attention to the following notes.
!About Copyright: The unauthorized recording, use, copying, distribution, or revision of television programs, is prohibited under the copyright laws of the Australia and other countries, and may subject you to civil and/or criminal liability.
!Before PVR recording, you need to check the external memory device’s File System successfully.
!Do not disconnect the memory device from the TV while recording, or the data will be lost.
!When PVR recording/Time Shifting, a directory will be automatically created at the external memory device to temporarily save the data.
!The data cannot be played on any other product or computer. Also the data can not be played on the TV through the USB input source.
!The recorder once in time shift mode will continue recording what you are watching and overwrite any information already on the memory device.
!If malfunction, then information already on the memory device may lose. So please back up your memory device data.
!When Time Shifting, the external memory device need to write and read data simultaneously. So during the process it may occur slight picture/sound pause or standstill depending on the memory device's speed and stability.
!After PVR recording/Time Shift, you can connect the memory device to your PC to delete temporary data or format a partition to completely clear those unnecessary data.
!Certain types of memory device (such as some USB devices) may not be compatible with this TV.
