Hard disk operation

Recording

Please note!!! Simultaneous reception of two encrypted channels

With your receiver, it is also possible, with just one CI module and one valid Smartcard, to receive two en-

crypted channels at the same time. However, this is only possible if you use a CI module with the “Dual-

Decrypt” function (see details of the CI module manufacturer), both the desired channels are located at the samesatellite frequency and the CI dual decryption function has been correctly selected.

Please ensure that the receiver has acquired the time. During operation, this is displayed in the Infobox and during standby operation on the display. If this is not the case, leave the receiver switched on to a selected channel for approximately 30 seconds, so that the receiver can acquire the current time.

1. Immediate recording

Select this recording type, to record the broadcast currently showing immediately with the touch of a button.

2. Time-controlled recording

This function can be used to switch your digital receiver on and off for the selected broadcast, in order to record onto the hard disk when you are away. The time can be channeld either manually or automatically via the EPG function.

3. Timeshift recording

The timeshift recording function makes delayed TV viewing possible. With this function, even while the recording continues, you can use a time-delayed playback.

Please note!

For technical reasons, it is not possible to receive two broadcasts, which are both transmitted in HD format, at the same time. The following combinations of recording and playback are possible:

- Record one broadcast and, at the same time, play back another broadcast of the same channel

(1 broadcast in HD format and 1 broadcast in SD format or 2 broadcasts in SD format) or a hard disk recording.

- Record two broadcasts (1 broadcast in HD format and 1 broadcast in SD format or 2 broadcasts in SD

format) at the same time.

- Record two different broadcasts (1 broadcast in HD format and 1 broadcast in SD format or 2 broad-

casts in SD format) and play back a prerecorded broadcast.

Timer recordings

With the help of the hard disk timer, you can record broadcasts on the integrated hard disk, even when you are away. Your receiver is also equipped with video recorder timers as well as with channel switching timers. In terms of their programming, these timers differ only in that the relevant type of timer is speci-

ed. In Standby operation, the hard disk and video recorder timers are shown by a clock symbol on the

display. As described in this chapter, you can either program the timer manually or with the help of the EPG function.

1. Hard disk timer

This function can be used to switch your digital receiver on and off for the selected broadcast, in order to record onto the hard disk when you are away. If the receiver was switched on by means of the hard disk

timer, this will be indicated by the message “_ PVR Timer” shown in the display. Some functions of the

remote control (e.g. Accessing the main menu) are not operational.

2. Video recorder timer

When you use a video recorder timer, your digital receiver will be switched on and off for the channel selected, so that it may be recorded, e.g. on a video recorder, in your absence. If the receiver was switched

on by means of the video recorder timer, this will be indicated by the message “_ VCR Timer” shown in

the display. Some functions of the remote control are not operational.

Be careful to note that the relevant recorder must also be channeld.

3. Channel change timer

If your receiver is in normal operating mode, it will switch to the channeld channel slot at the time selected. In contrast to the setting for a hard disk or video recorder timer, the controls remain fully functional, and the receiver will not be switched off at the end of the channel.

Timer settings (Preliminary or Follow-up time)

During the EPG timer programming, the receiver receives the data of the selected broadcast automatically from the EPG data. This allows the start and end time of the broadcast being recorded to be saved precise to the minute. However, there are often cases where the selected broadcast starts somewhat

earlier or later than is specied. In this case, the recorded broadcast will miss out either the start or the

end. To solve this problem, you can set preliminary or follow-up time in one minute steps. The timer now

starts earlier at the specied preliminary time and ends at the set follow-up time later than specied in the

EPG data. > Press the red function key Timer to open a selection window. > Use the arrow keys up/down to highlight the line Timer settings.

> Conrm by pressing OK. A menu appears for adjusting the preliminary or follow-up time.

> Use the arrow keys up/down to highlight the line Timer preliminary time or Timer follow-up time. > Use the numeric keys to enter the desired preliminary or follow-up time in minutes. > Press the green function key Save, to save the setting and to return to the timer overview.

Timeshift function

The timeshift function allows you the possibility to activate both playback and recording at the same time. This allows time-delayed TV viewing. This allows you to view the start of the recording and thus jump through sections that have already been recorded. At the same time, the recording of the live signal of the broadcast continues.

> To access a specic portion of a current recording, the functions Play and Pause are available, as well

as Fast Forward and the jog shuttle. > Pressing the Info button causes the Infobox to appear with a status bar displayed, which shows the
