5. Time Shift
While watching TV, just press the TS button.
The picture will freeze, no sound will be heard and the recording
will start.
Time shift enables you to follow a running program with a delay
of up to 120 minutes.
Let us assume that the phone is ringing while you are watching TV. You do not want to miss anything of
the program, so you decide to start Time Shift recording while you answer the phone.
Let us assume again that 10 minutes later the situation is like this:
A frozen picture on the TV and no sound.
Of course, you would like to watch now the Time Shift recording
that contains your missing 10 minutes.
You start the playback of the Time Shift recording by pressing the (Play) button.
NOTE: Further recording is still in progress.
Keep on watching the playback until the program is finished.
Press the (Stop) button to turn off the Time Shift recording.
In order to save HDD memory space, Time Shift recordings will be deleted automatically from the
temporary memory when pressing the (Stop) button.
To turn off the Time Shift recording:
Press EPG button on the RCU to display the Electronic Program
Guide (EPG).
Select a program you would like to record by using UP/ DOWN
( ) buttons and press the "Timer" button.
When "EPG record" information is displayed, press "OK" to
reserve the recording. The selected program will now appear in
the "Recording List".
To modify this entry manually, you can open the menu by
pressing OK and edit the entry.
To delete a scheduled recording, see the section "How to set the
timer".
If there is a pending timer event active, it makes no difference whether or not the STB is switched off
(Standby) or used normally. The device will automatically turn on to execute the scheduled event.
If the device is switched off using the power switch at the back of the STB or the power supply is
otherwise interrupted, the system time will be lost along with all scheduled timer events.
4. EPG Recording
Making use of the "EPG recording" is the most convenient method of booking a recording session.
NOTE: During Time Shift playback you may use the special playback modes, such as Slow, REW, FF,
and Pause.
When starting the playback during an ongoing Time Shift recording you can press the FF button
repeatedly if you do not want to be 10 minutes behind the live transmission of the program. So it is
possible to have a quick look at what has been recorded during your phone conversation - and at the
same time finally reach the direct transmission of the program. If anything of interest seems to be going
on you can press (Play) again and select normal speed (with sound).
