Saving the buffer
This function lets you start to record a programme to the DVR hard disc even if you missed the
start thanks to the Time Shift function.
In the recording menu which appears, select then activate (position YES) the Save Buffer

▼ and B keys. Confirm with OK .
The programme is recorded to the hard disc and its references (name, times, etc.) are stored in
the video library.

represent the first images of each title.
• With a DVD R disc, if you do not have another recording to make, you need to “Finalize” the disc
in order that it can be read by other DVD R compatible players. Closing a DVD R disc is described
in detail below. If you do not close a DVD R disc, it will still be possible to make other recordings
on it later on, providing there is enough disc space.You can therefore safely store it.You may also
erase recordings but the corresponding duration will be lost.You may not record other titles in
their place.
• With DVD RW discs, this function does not exist. It is replaced by a function that renders the
disc compatible in such cases where you have added or removed chapter bookmarks using
the edit menu. For some players, it is necessary to render the disc compatible even though
you haven’t carried out modifications to the chapters.
