our DMR in TV mode

To take full advantage of the TV functions and TV program recording features, your
DMR must be used as if it were at the centre of your TV setup. The connection shown on
page 8 will allow you to do this. Consider your DMR as a television set without a screen
and your TV set as a screen only. The channels will therefore have to be selected from
the DMR and its remote control.

Choosing TV channels

In the

Main Menu select Channels and press

ok

to validate.

ð The last channel watched appears along with an information banner which disappears a

few seconds later. To display it again, press the yellow

info

key.

Putting the television on pause (PAUSE LIVE TV)

Your DMR allows you to answer the phone without missing a single moment of the TV
program you were watching. All you have to do is press

PAUSE

.

ð The program is frozen. You have 45 minutes of program recording at your disposal. After

that time, the recording continues but the first minutes will be erased to make room for
the subsequent minutes.

To resume watching the program where you had left off, press

PLAY

.

ð From that moment, the program is watched in delayed viewing. To watch the program in

real time, press

LIVE

.

Real-time TV Program

Example:

• Once you have activated the PAUSE LIVE TV, mode, you cannot change channels since the recording

of a TV program onto the hard disk does not allow the change of channels.

you left it when you

Name of the channel.

With some TVs, video from your DMR takes priority and is displayed on the screen. In this case, you can
no longer change channels on the TV, either by using your DMR’s remote control unit set to the TV
position (by pressing the

key) or by using the TV’s remote control unit. You can therefore no longer

record one channel’s programmes on the hard disk of your DMR while watching another channel on the
TV (
