One of the main advantages of HDD and DVD is quick, easy playback of a desired program with no need for fast-forwarding or rewinding. The DVR- 510H-S and DVR-310-S enhance this convenience with the Advanced Disc Navigator, which shows you a list of program titles recorded on HDD or on the loaded disc. And when you select one with the cursor, an animated thumbnail picture is displayed on the screen with audio, making it easy to recognize the program contents.
