Hard disk operation

Recording
Warning!!!

Simultaneous receiving of two encrypted channels

Your receiver also allows you to receive two different encrypted channels simultaneously, using only one
CI module and only a single valid Smartcard. 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 on the same transmitter 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 play back.

9

Warning!

For technical reasons, it is not possible to receive two broadcasts, which are both transmitted in HD
format, at the same time. To utilise all the recording facilities of your receiver, you should ensure it is con­nected via two independent antenna connections. This allows you to use the following combinations of

recording and playback:

- Record one broadcast and at the same time, play back another broadcast (even from a different TV

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, even when these are received on different channels.

- Record two different broadcasts (even from different channels; Record 1 broadcast in HD format and 1

broadcast in SD format or record 2 broadcasts in SD format at the same time and play back a pre-re-

corded broadcast. If the receiver connection only has one antenna connection available, the available

recording and playback functions will be correspondingly limited as a result.

- 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 of the same channel (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 of the same channel (1 broadcast in HD format and 1 broadcast in

SD format or 2 broadcasts 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 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 programmed channel at the time selected.
In contrast to the setting for a hard disk or video recorder timer, the remote 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.

> 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 and allows you to view the start of the recording and thus jump
throughsections that have already been recorded. At the same time, the recording of the live signal of the
broadcast continues.

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

as Fast Forward and the jog shuttle.
