Pause Live TV
The Pause Live TV feature lets you effectively pause a TV
program you’re watching. When you’re ready to resume
watching, just press the Play button.
To use this feature the recorder must be connected to
your TV using a SCART cable, and the
AV Link setting
(page 134) should be set to This Recorder Only.
Not all TVs support this feature. Check the instructions
that came with your TV if you’re not sure.
Important
• Pause Live TV will not work as expected when
watching TV via an external component such as a
VCR or digital tuner. It only works with the channel
selected on the TV.
1 Start recording the current TV channel.
Recording continues with playback paused.
• Note that it may take up to 10 seconds for recording
to start.
2 Press to start playback.
You can also use the scan buttons (
/
), pause (
PAUSE) and stop ( STOP)—all without affecting the
recording.
3 Press to stop the recording.
Tip
• You can press PAUSE LIVE TV while the recorder is
in standby to switch on and immediately start
recording. After pressing
PAUSE LIVE TV, it will take
at least 10 seconds for the picture to change (during
this time, all controls except the power button are
inoperative).
• Please note that you can’t record from another
component (VCR, etc.) that is connected by a SCART
cable to the
AV2/(INPUT 1/DECODER) connector
using the Pause Live TV feature.
Setting a timer recording
Using the timer recording features you can program up
to 32 timer recordings up to a month in advance. Timer
recording programs can be set to record just once, every
day, or every week.
There are two ways to program a timer recording; using
the GUIDE Plus+ system (see
The Schedule Area on
page 68) or using the Easy Timer Recording feature (see
Easy Timer Recording below).
You can set the recording quality for your timer recording
in the same way as for a regular recording, but with the
added option of an
AUTO mode, which maximizes the
recording quality for the space available on the disc (if
recording to DVD), or to fit on to a blank DVD disc (if
recording to HDD).
You can set timer recordings to record to a recordable
DVD or to the hard disk drive. For regular (daily or weekly)
HDD timer recordings that you don’t need to keep, you
can use the Auto Replace Recording feature to
automatically replace the previous timer recording with
the new one. Note that when you use this feature, the
previous recording made on that timer program will be
replaced by the next one, regardless of whether you have
watched it yet or not.
You can also set the recorder so that it will adjust the
recording quality to try and fit the recording on to the disc
if it would not otherwise fit at the recording quality you set
(see
Optimized Rec on page 132 for more on this).
Finally, if you set a timer recording to record to DVD but
there isn’t a recordable DVD loaded at the time of the
recording, the Recovery Recording feature will
automatically record the program to the HDD for you.
This recorder is compatible with VPS (Video
Programming System) and PDC (Program Delivery
Control) systems used by many TV stations to ensure that
a timer recording catches the whole program even when
the program is not running to schedule. Up to eight timer
programs can be set with VPS/PDC on.
Important
• A timer recording can’t be set if there are already 32
timer programs waiting to be recorded.
• Timer recording will not start if:
– The recorder is already recording.
– A disc is being initialized, finalized or unfinalized.
• Timer recording will start when the operation
preventing timer recording has finished.
