Formatting hard disk
To format the hard disk of the digital receiver, select the Instal-
lation > Format Hard Disk
menu.
Formatting the hard disk will delete all files permanently. If a
new hard disk drive is installed, it must be formatted because
the file system of the digital receiver is different from any of
the personal computer. You cannot use time shift and record
functions with an unformatted hard disk.
