Settings for the Digital Recorder
You can use the Digital Recorder with the values set at the factory initially.
In this case, please continue reading on page 9.
However, you should change the settings later to adjust the Digital Re-
corder to meet your own requirements. In the process, you can determine
the recording quality and the recording capacity of the hard disk for
analogue TV signals, you can set the Digital Recorder continuous operation
for viewing with a time shift, the maximum time shift, the jump distance,
Smart jump and the serial recording tolerance.
You can adjust the settings in the Digital Recorder menu, which is a sub-
menu of the DR archive.
Call the archive with the red coloured key. In case of a
TV set with MHEG-5 use the key
for calling the DR
archive.
Call the Digital Recorder menu with the MENU button.

Setting recording capacity/quality
For signals from analogue terrestrial/cable stations, set the recording quality
to very high, high, medium or standard. Signals from DVB stations are
recorded directly, and therefore always at high quality. In the list above, you
can see the recording capacity still available for the Digital Recorder (call up
with the INFO button if necessary). Select a higher quality if you intend to
copy the programme to a VCR or DVD recorder.
The factory default setting for the recording quality is ”high“.
Mark the ”Recording quality“.
For the setting, mark the menu line below.
Select the recording quality.
Setting maximum time shift
This time indicates the maximum possible time between the time shift
picture and the live picture without losing any of the programme. It may be
between 30 minutes and 2 hours. The factory default setting is ”60 min“.
You can trace the programme back for this time. If you stop the pro-
gramme for longer than the set time, the TV set switched to the playback
mode.
Mark ”Maximum time shift“.
For the setting, mark the menu line below.
Select the time.
