Immediate recording
You can start recording at any time by pressing twice, on the unit’s front, DVD REC to record to a DVD
R/RW disc or HDD REC to the hard disc (or press REC twice on the remote control).
Configured recording
Configured recording lets your record the programme after a quick adjustment of the duration, quality
and destination to be recorded.
Press to proceed to the next step (from step 2-5).
1. Press REC once on the remote control.
2. Choose a duration by pressing (right key). Each time you
press the duration is increased by 30 minutes up until the
maximum time remaining on the disc is attained. When the
maximum duration is reached, pressing again to display “--h--
min” which indicates the precise time remaining, for example 1
hour 12 min.
3. Press to select a recording quality. The time remaining on the
disc is indicated next to it. If you modify the quality you will also
modify the duration, which may be useful with a DVD R/RW disc which has little space.
4. Press to select recording destination (default: DVR hard disc).
5. Press to select whether using the save buffer (Yes) or not (No). With the help of the time shift
function, this lets you record a programme to the DVR hard disc even if you missed the start of it.
6. Press to select “Start” to start recording or “Cancel” to give up recording. Press OK to confirm
the selection. The indication REC (RECORD) is displayed for a few moment and the red lamp on the
front lights up. It confirms that recording has started.
• Changing the channel during recording is not possible. To watch another channel during the
recording session, select it directly on the television set, using its own remote control handset.
• Information on the current recording status shows briefly on the TV screen. To display this
information again, press INFO.

Your recorder can save in its memory images of the last 60 or 120 minutes (see “Buffer Length” in the
“Setup” section) of the programme being viewed. When you have to stop watching a programme for a
while like answering a phone call, you can press REV to rewind to the point where you have just
missed and then press PLAY (or FWD if you want to skip recorded images) to continue watching the
rest without missing a scene.
The symbol in the information banner indicates that you are watching a delayed programme.
The delay between the images being watched and the live images is indicated to the left of the
banner. You can return to the live broadcast by pressing LIVE.
Note: the recorder must be turned on for using the time shift function.
