Useful features

This DVD Video recorder records high quality images to rapid

random access capable HDD (Hard disk drive) or DVD-RAM. This

has resulted in many new features that out perform older tape

formats. The following information summarizes a few of these

features.

Instant recording

You no longer need to search for empty disc space. By pressing the

recording button, the unit finds available recording space and begins

recording right away. There is no need to worry about overwriting

already recorded content.

TV Guide On Screen TM system

The TV Guide On Screen system provides a handy electronic

program guide (EPG) for checking what’s on. Setting up to record a

broadcast is easy too. Simply select the desired program from the

displayed list. You can also search for desired programs

alphabetically or by displaying only the programs in a certain

category.

≥TV Guide On Screen is available in the continental United States.

In Canada, however, it is under development and may not function

properly.

HDD recording

You can keep on recording your favorite programmes to an internal

HDD that is able to record up to 213 hours when using EP (8 Hour)

mode.

You can also high speed transfer (dub) your favorite programmes to

DVD-RAM or DVD-R and create a backup disc.

Instant play

There is no need to rewind or search forward. Direct Navigator

guides you to the beginning of the recorded video immediately.

Chasing playback

There is no need to wait until recording is

complete. Without stopping recording,

you can play the video currently being

recorded from its beginning.

Simultaneous Recording

and Playback

While recording, you can play another

video program that was recorded

previously.

Time Slip

During play and also while recording, you

can jump to the scene you wish to view

by specifying the skip time.
