Playback from the HDD

The Time Shift Buffer

Navigation in the Time Shift Buffer

As a result of the high data transfer speed of the HDD, it is possible to play back recordings from the Time Shift Buffer while the recording is still in process.

Therefore, you can jump back to the currently selected TV programme using JUMP BACK T and watch a scene again.

Moreover, you can use all playback features such as still picture, slow motion, search by time, search with N U , O V even with recordings that are still in the Time Shift Buffer.

In the meantime, the recording continues.

If you switch to another TV channel on the DVD-Recorder

( CHANNEL q P , CHANNEL r S ) a new title is created with the new TV channel in the Time Shift Buffer. If you watch a TV show only for a short time (less than 60 seconds) before you change to a different TV channel, no new title is created.

For easier navigation, you can change the time period of the Time Shift Buffer from 1 to 6 hours. 1 hour means that a recording is available only for one hour before it is automatically deleted to make room for the current recording.

If the GUIDE Plus+® system delivers title information, the latter is also stored with the recording. When recording TV shows without GUIDE Plus+® information, only the date and the time of the recording are stored as title.

What is the advantage from 1 hour and 6 hours?

The complete time periode of the time will be displayed on the whole screen of your TV.

With 1 hour you will get the highest comfort for searching a specific scene. With 6 hours you will get the longest possible recording time.

Please observe that the Time Shift Buffer needs also storage capacity on the HDD. Depending of the selected record mode (picture quality):

6 hours in 'M1' = approx. 28GB

6 hours in 'M8' = approx. 3,4GB

How you enter the time periode, read in the chapter 'User preferences/Settings I' in the section 'Preferences' / 'Recording'/

'HDD buffer'.

Preparation:

•) The TV is switched on, and, if necessary, the programme number for the DVD recorder has been selected.

•) the DVD recorder is switched to tuner mode (button TUNER 0 ).
