2. Graphical User Interface (Menus) The various on-screen displays available are described in detail in this and the following chapters. The actual on-screen displays generated by your receiver may differ slightly from those shown here, as continuous updates of the software may either alter the appearance or even the structure of the displays.
2.3 Record List The record list shows the current list off scheduled recordings. There is also the ability to schedule and create manual recording by selecting the “OK/tick” key, where you may add channel, title, date, start time, finish time and duration. The record list also gives disk space information in terms of free space and reserved space on the hard disk. 2.4 Library The library is the archive of the programmes which have been recorded by you and are stored on the hard disk of your receiver.
2.6 Tuner Info Tuner info gives an up to date reading of the technical details of the tuner and its behaviour. The following details and measurements are displayed: Programme number Programme name (e.g. ITV3) Channel Frequency TX mode Guard Interval Signal strength Signal Quality 2.7 Set-Up ( Settings ) The set-up menu is used to create your own preferences for the receiver in subtitle recording, messages, child lock create favourites list and to check he A/V settings of the receiver.
2.7.5 Disk Settings - Pause buffer size (mins) By using the “left/right” navigation keys it is possible to change the buffer size to between 5 and 60 minutes - Instant replay Instant replay may be switched on/off by using the “left/right” navigation keys - Start Guard Time To ensure that a timed recording does not miss the beginning of a programme a buffer time may be set to ensure commencement of programme is captured.
3. Recording specifications/ Media manager The media manager allows you to design and administrate your favourite list and is also the access to recorded programmes, which are archived her. 3.1 Library The library is the archive of the programmes which have been recorded by you and are therefore stored on the hard disk of your receiver. When zapping, you will see a still video (thumbnail) on the mini TV screen of the recorded sequences as well as the date, hour and length of the recording.
3.2 Recordings at the Time Shift Buffer The time shift buffer offers you broader functions and control, which converts broadcast television to a new experience. • You can watch, stop and rewind a programme during the broadcast/recording • To watch a recording you do not have to wait until the broadcast id finished • A scene of the actual live broadcast can be repeated, even several times by pressing a key (instant replay). In the meantime the Time Shift Buffer ensures that nothing is lost.
3.4 Favourite List The favourite lists are TV lists assembled individually by you, which can be defined according to the preferences of the single TV user. 3.5 Creating a list of Personal Favourite Programmes and Channel Sorting Many viewers prefer to use the huge list of TV and radio programmes found in an automatic channel searching a particular order, or to use the list only selectively.
4. Electronic Programme Guide (EPG) The EPG can increasingly take over the function of a published programme guide. The EPG gives you an overview of the actual broadcast programmes as well as the pending programmes. 4.1 Programme Information ( 14 days ) Each time that you switch channels there is a brief message on screen, displaying the programme name, current time, starting and end times, title and content of current programme.
5. Personal Planner At the personal planner ( planned recordings ) all planned programmes for recordings re listed and noted with coloured icons. Blue for reminders and red for recordings Select personal planner in the main menu. The noted recordings at the EPG menu are also listed here. For the recording of repeating programmes e.g series, the programming of the personal planner is preferable; the programming possibilities are similar to the known video functions.
7. Sleep Timer You can use the sleep timer to specify a time (e.g. at night) at which the receiver is to switch over into standby mode. This is particularly useful if there is no person available at this time to switch the receiver off manually. Press and hold the “Sleep/Timer” key. The display will continue to show a timed reading of 0-180 minutes, when you decide on what time is right for you release the “Sleep/Timer” key and the receiver is set and will count down immediately. 8.
10. Archiving Recordings from the Library When the hard disk becomes full you may want to keep all of your current recordings, but you need to create more space on the hard disk to make new recordings. If this situation arises it is possible to archive (copy) recordings from the hard disk to another recording device such as a VCR or DVDr. (This is only possible if these devices are connected to the digital receiver by means of a SCART lead.
