PVR Operations

If the USB disk is partitioned into several volumes, but no FAT32 volume exists, a prompt
dialog will ask user to format one of them into FAT32.

Note:

If you confirmed to format the disk, all data previous stored on the volume will be
erased and can't be recovered. It is recommended that you backup your data and
finish the format process on your PC.

When a USB disk is connected, a prompt message “USB device detected, please wait…” will
be shown at the bottom of screen.

DisK Format

The volumeattached can't be
recognized, would you like format
it asFAT32? Pleasenote, all the
date onthe volume willbe erased
after formatting!

Note: You can't access any PVR operations until the recovery is finished.

If you wish to attempt the recovery process on line, press to confirm, the unit will try to
recover the damaged file system and prompt a message “USB device checking…Please wait”
at the bottom of the screen.

OK

If the on line recovery fails for some reason, you should turn to your PC to recover the file
system, or go to HDD Status menu to format it if you don't need any content in this partition.

Note:

The time required to finish the recovery on line depends on the disk capacity. It may
take a long time if the partition is very large.
We strongly recommend user to do the recovery on the PC which only costs several
seconds, please refer below section for details.

If one of the partition is FAT32 but the file system is damaged, a prompt dialog will ask user if
an on line recovery (recover the disk on the unit) is needed.

PVR Operations

If the USB disk is newly bought without any existing partition, a prompt dialog will ask user to
format the whole disk into FAT32 file system type.

Before you start the recording / time-shifting with a USB disk connected, please make sure
there is enough free space on your disk.
The space required varies hugely according to the broadcasting program. HD recordings can
use anywhere from 5 to 15 GB per hour, which is dependent on the “information” being
broadcast. The size variance is caused by the resolution (1080i for the commercial networks
vs. ABC HD's 720p or SBS HD's 576p), whether or not there is a Dolby Digital 5.1 soundtrack,
or multiple soundtracks, subtitles, EPG and time information, etc.
The data rate of SD recordings can also vary, but it usually falls somewhere between 3 and 4
GB an hour.

Press the key if you want to record the program you are currently watching.
If there is USB disk mounted, a prompt dialog will be shown for confirmation, press key (or
do nothing in 10 seconds)to start the recording.

If you unplug the USB disk without stopping the recording or time-shifting, or suddenly lose
power in such circumstances, the file system of the disk will be damaged and a recovery is
needed before it can be used again.
We strongly recommend you use a PC to recover the file system, please follow the
instructions below.

the Recording

When a recording starts, a new folder will be created under the root directory of your USB disk
with file name structure as below:
Animal Lifeline [MAY 03 10.53.21]

There are at least three files under this folder with the same name but different extensions:
Animal Lifeline [MAY 03 10.53.21].trp

The main recorded stream containing video, audio, etc

Animal Lifeline [MAY 03 10.53.21].ifo

Information of the recording

Animal Lifeline [MAY 03 10.53.21].idx

Index file created for trick mode playback such as FF/RW

If you record for a long time, you will also find other files under the folder such as:
Animal Lifeline [MAY 03 10.53.21].001
Animal Lifeline [MAY 03 10.53.21].002
……
Actually it's the same as .trp file, but due to the restrictions of FAT32 file system, it doesn't
allow a file larger than 2 GB, so the recording is divided every 1.5 GB with extension start from
001, 002 and so on.

PVR Operations

Note:

1.If the unit is in standby mode, it will start recording at a specified time without
displaying any picture or sound on the TV. When the recording ends, the unit will

2.If you intercept by pressing any keys on the RCU or on the front panel, control will
be overridden by the user and the unit will start displaying picture and sound and it
