On this menu you can make settings for your recordings and for

time-shifting.

PVR Setup

Use the



buttons to select whether automatic time-shifting is

enabled or disabled. When you select “On” the receiver automatically

(in the background) starts recording the programme you are viewing as

soon as you switch to the channel. Then, in manual record mode, you
can press the

button to choose whether to record the programme

from the current time or from the time you switched to the channel. The

advantage of this is that you do not lose the part of the programme you

were watching before you decided to record it! When you select “Off”

you can only record the programme as from the point you press Record,

and lose the portion of the programme before you started recording.

Automatic Time-Shift

Use the



buttons here to select the size of the background buffer

the receiver makes available for time-shift recording. You can choose

between 1 and 8 GB, in 1 GB increments. The receiver indicates in

brackets after the GB figure how long this will enable it to background-

record for.

Time-Shift Buffer Size

Use the



buttons to select whether hard disk management is

controlled by the receiver (“Automatic”) or by you (“Manual”).

If you select “Automatic”, the receiver automatically deletes older

recordings when it reaches the maximum disk capacity, so as to make

room for planned recordings. (You can, however, protect recordings

from being deleted by the receiver, as described in the “Recording List”

section under “Edit Recordings” - “Deletion Block”.

If you select “Manual” you must always ensure there is sufficient hard

disk capacity yourself. If the available disk capacity falls below five

percent, a warning appears the next time you restart the unit.
