RECORDING PROGRAMS (PVR)

Note: By default, this unit uses the built-in hard drive. If you choose to record to an external

drive (like a flash drive or hard disk drive in FAT32 format), it must be compatible, connected

and running. You can change the location of the recorded program in the PVR Settings menu.

NOT all USB devices, such as phones, MP3 players, cameras, and the like, are compatible with

recording TV programs. We recommend using USB Flash Drives, or external HDDs with a

separate power supply.

RECOMMENDED: Format the data storage unit before doing any recording to ensure that it is

in the correct file system format and that there is enough data space for recording.

WARNING: Ensure that no valuable information is currently stored in the connected data

storage unit, as the formatting process means that ALL DATA will be ERASED. TEAC does not

take responsibility for lost data. While recording functions are running, DO NOT disconnect the

data storage unit, to avoid damage or data loss.

PVR Settings

If you need to check or adjust the PVR settings, follow the steps below:

1. Press the MENU button and go to the PVR menu with the LEFT/RIGHT buttons.

2. Highlight "PVR Setting" with the UP/DOWN buttons and press OK.

3. Highlight menu items with the UP/DOWN buttons and adjust with the LEFT/RIGHT

progress, you can see that the "REC" is shown on the display.

Scheduled recording

Schedule recordings ahead of time – recording can even start while the unit is in Standby Mode,

so you don't need to keep it on.

SCHEDULE VIA EPG

This is a quick and easy way to schedule recordings according to programs available in the

EPG, which lists the broadcast schedule up to 7 days in advance.

1. In DTV Mode, press the EPG button.

2. Using the UP/DOWN/LEFT/RIGHT buttons, find the desired program and highlight it.

recording.

Time Shift (Pause live TV)

"Time Shift" is a handy feature to "pause" live TV programs via a temporary recording function,

which you may find helpful if you are interrupted for a few minutes during your show. It ensures

that you don't miss a single second of the show because you can return to the TV later and

continue watching from where you stopped.

use the standard playback control buttons on your Time Shift temporary recording, for

example: to skip parts such as commercial breaks with the FAST FORWARD button, or

pause and play again with the PLAY/PAUSE button.

3. To exit Time Shift completely and go back to the live TV broadcast, press the STOP

button.

Note: If the storage space is running low, recording may not start, or be interrupted halfway.

WARNING: While Time Shift or other recording functions are running, DO NOT disconnect

power or the data storage unit, to avoid damage or data loss.
