Dedicated Recording Device Setup
After connecting an external storage device, it must be configured as a dedicated Recorded TV device
before the Schedule Recording and Timeshift features can be used.
Initial Setup
1.
Press the button to launch Smart Hub. Select Recorded TV from the bottom of the On TV or
Photos, Videos & Music screen to display a list of connected devices. Select the device you wish
to use. A popup window appears.
2.
Select Yes. From the Device Format screen, you can format the device to a system compatible for
video recording. Note that formatting the device erases all existing data.

Once formatting is complete, test the device to see if it supports the recording and Timeshift
functions. Once testing is complete, the device is ready for use with the Schedule Recording

dedicated recording device. Select a different device.
