Introducing the hard disc recorder and Beo4
With the Bang & Olufsen hard disc
recorder, you do not need to use
video tapes any more. Instead, you
can store recordings on the built-in
hard disc.
If the hard disc is full, the recorder
automatically makes space available
for new recordings. You can prevent
deletion of your most important
recordings, so they can only be
deleted on your command.
The hard disc recorder also makes it
possible for you to pause an on-going
programme for a short break and replay
it later, so you do not miss anything.
Record programmes
The hard disc recorder gives you the opportunity
to record and store T V, Satellite (DT V*) and
set-top box (STB) programmes on the hard disc.
You decide whether to store them temporarily
or permanently. The manual and timed
recordings you make are stored in HARD DISC
CONTENT, and the on- going programs you
pause and replay are put temporarily in a
three-hour replay buffer. If you wish, you can
move saved programmes from the buffer to
HARD DISC CONTENT.

TIMER remains on during standby, and flashes
if a timer recording can not be executed.
RECORD
‘Recording in progress’ indication.
RECORD flashes if a manual recording can not be
executed for some reason – for example, if there
is a conflict with a timed recording.
REPLAY
The hard disc recorder allows you to ‘pause’ the
current programme if, for example, you wish to
take a short break, and replay the programme later.
REPLAY indicates that the current source, such as
V.TUNER, is being replayed from the three-hour
buffer on the hard drive.
For further information about how to replay an
on-going program, refer to the chapter ‘Pause
and replay an on-going program’ on page 20.
• (Standby indicator)
The indicator shines red when you switch off the
recorder. The indicator shines green when the
recorder is in use. The indicator flashes red and
green if the recorder is overheating.
Displayed information and menus
The display on the recorder informs
you about the current status of the
recorder.
It tells you if you are replaying an
on-going program, if there are timed
recordings waiting to be executed,
and if a recording is in progress.
If two recordings overlap or if a
recording can not be executed,
this is indicated as well.
Operation of the hard disc recorder is
guided by on-screen menus accessible
via the main menu. In the menus,
move the cursor from item to item.
For each item, information can be
keyed in directly or you can browse
through the options available.
For further information, refer to the
chapter ‘On-screen menus’ on page 42.

NOTE! If timed recordings of STB programs are
not executed, the cause may be that the set-top
box is slow to switch itself on. This can be helped
by changing a setting in a service menu. Contact
your Bang & Olufsen retailer.
>> Record a programme
There are two ways to record a programme
here and now. One allows you to watch a
source, such as T V, while recording another
source, such as STB. The source you want to
record must be built into your television (such
as TV) or connected directly to it (such as STB).
If you start a recording this way, you can watch
another source while recording is going on,
but not a previous recording. A second way
allows you to watch one recording while
making another.
If you start a manual recording from the hard
disc recorder main menu, you can then watch
a second recording at the same time.
Note that you can not start a new recording
if there is a recording already in progress, or
if the hard disc is full of protec ted recordings.
V.TUNER is only accessible if you set the REPL AY
option in the hard disc recorder SETUP menu to
BASIC or EXTENDED. For fur ther information,
refer to the chapter ‘Preference settings’ on page
38.
If you start a recording while the hard disc recorder
is in standby, recording is delayed by the amount
of time it takes for the hard drive to start – up to
35 seconds.
Record a source and watch
another source at the same
time …
Press RECORD twice. The hard
disc recorder begins recording
the current programme
To watch another source during
recording, just select the desired
source on Beo4, such as DVD
Press V MEM* and then STOP
twice to stop a recording
Press to switch the system to
standby.
You can not watch one STB
programme while recording
another.
Make a recording and view a previous
recording at the same time …
> Press V MEM*, then the green button to bring
up the main menu.
> Press
to highlight a source, such as V.TUNER
(for TV programmes) or STB (for programmes
from a set-top box) and press GO to switch it
on.
> Select the program you wish to record. Press
or to step between programs or use the
number buttons to select a program directly.
> Press V MEM*, then the green button to bring
up the main menu once more.
> Press
to highlight RECORD and press GO to
start the recording. RECORD appears in the
display. You can now play a recording stored in

on the teletext menu bar and press GO
.
> Press
or to move to the start time.
> Press GO to select the chosen start time.
> Press GO to select the stop time, you can
change the stop time by pressing and include
two or three programmes in a row.
> Check the status line for the recording, if
necessary, use or or the number buttons
to change and
or to move between the
entered data.
> Press GO to store the Timer recording.
PROGRAMMING STORED indicates that your
Timer is stored.
We recommend that you check the date of your
Timers in the Timer Index after storing them. This
is described on page 11.
If you have selected V.TUNER or a connected settop box as your source, teletext services may
either be severely limited – for example, without
number input – or they may be inaccessible. Select
TV as your source before programming a Timer
recording via teletext.

Play a recording
In playback situations, the hard disc
recorder behaves exactly like a video
tape recorder.
If you switch on the hard disc recorder
and wait a few seconds, playback of
stored recordings begins automatically.
If you switch it on from standby, the
hard disc recorder takes up to 35
seconds to start up. During this time,
you can use the menu system, but not
play recordings.
Browse through your stored recordings
in an on-screen menu.
Unless otherwise instructed, the
hard disc recorder plays the selected
recording through to the end. The
recording is then paused.
When you select a recording to play, the hard
disc recorder automatically resumes playback
from where you left off the last time the
same recording was played. If you have
viewed the recording to its end, playback
starts from the beginning.
Select a recording …
> Press V MEM* then the green button
to bring
up the hard disc recorder’s main menu.
> Press GO to bring up the HARD DISC CONTENT
menu.
> Press
or to highlight the recording you
wish to play. A
at the bottom of the list or
a at the top of the list indicates that more
recordings are available
> Press GO to play the selected recording.
Playback information – the time elapsed and
the total length of the recording – appears
briefly on the screen.
Playback information can be brought up at any
time during playback by pressing GO. To remove
playback information, press EXIT or wait three
seconds.
The HARD DISC CONTENT menu can be brought
up during playback by pressing and holding GO.
The bar at the top indicates how full the hard disc
is. A red dot indicates if a recording is protected.
For further information about protection, refer to
‘Edit recordings’ on page 18.
For automatic playback of recordings …
Press V MEM* to switch on the hard disc recorder.
Playback of the last recording viewed begins
automatically from where you left off. However,
other recordings may be played back instead:
– If you have made timed recordings since the last
time you viewed a recording, the newest timed
recording is played from the beginning;
– If a timed recording is in progress, it is played
from the beginning. This does not interrupt the
recording process!
