Device Performance Test must be performed on the USB storage device connected to the TV
before a recording can be made. A Device Performance Test can be performed from Smart Guide
or Photos, Videos & Music. If recording is selected from Guide or the Programme Info and the
USB storage device has failed the Device Performance Test, the TV will initiate Format Device
and conduct Device Performance Test again.
●
When using the recording function, the actual recording may start a second or two later than the
specified time.
●
If the Schedule Recording function is running at the same time as a recording is being made on
an HDMI-CEC-compliant external device, the priority is given to the Schedule Recording function.
●
Connecting a TV-recording USB device automatically deletes abnormally saved Timeshift and
recording files.
●
If Off Timer or Auto Power Off has been configured, the TV will override the setting if recording
is in progress at the specified time and turn off after the recording has ended.
Dedicated Recording Device Setup
After connecting an external storage device, it must be configured as a dedicated Recorded TV device
before the Schedule Recording and Timeshift features can be used.
Plug & Play
1.
Press and launch Smart Hub. Select Recorded TV from the bottom of the On TV or Photos,
Videos & Music screen to display a list of connected devices. Select the device you wish to use.
A popup window appears.
2.
Select Yes. From the Device Format screen, you can format the device to a system compatible for
video recording. Note that formatting the device erases all existing data.
3.
Once formatting is complete, test the device to see if it supports the recording and Timeshift
functions. Once testing is complete, the device is ready for use with the Schedule Recording
and Timeshift functions. A test failure indicates that the selected device cannot be used as a
dedicated recording device. Select a different device.
