Recording Preferences
There are two options available to change, the guard
time and the rewind buer size. Use the
UP and DOWN
arrow buttons to move between the two options and the
LEFT and RIGHT arrows to scroll through the available
values for that option.
Recording guard time
A guard time is a small amount of time added to the
start and end of a recording to help protect against programmes starting slightly ahead of
schedule or more typically over-running their scheduled nishing time. There is obviously a
small penalty for this feature which is that you will use up more space for each recording with
a guard time set. The available settings are OFF, 1, 3 or 5 minutes. As you can see the default
setting is
OFF to maximise the available disk space for recordings.
Pause live TV
Your DTR automatically records and buers the channel you are currently watching. The
size of this record buer is set to 30 minutes. This means that you can pause and rewind the
channel you are watching back by 30 minutes, or by the amount of time you have set as the
Pause live TV buer size. As with the guard times, this obviously takes up space on your hard
disk drive for recording other programmes so if you do not use this feature you can turn it
o to increase the available space for recordings. The available settings are
OFF, 15, 30, 45
or 60 minutes.
If while watching a programme you decide to record it, your DTR will use as much of the buer
as is available to add to your recording in an attempt to record the whole of the programme
from the start.
Messages
Occasionally, events may occur that your DTR stores
for your information. For example, your DTR is capable
of having its software upgraded automatically via the
aerial. If you have any messages waiting to be read, a
small envelope icon will appear as shown. To view any
messages, select Messages from the Main Menu or Set-Up
menu. Once you have read your messages, you may
delete them by pressing the RED button.
