Special features
Philips provides the best possible connection
between your recorder and other home
cinema equipment. The recorder is controlled
by external devices (for example, receivers
and TVs) via Cinema Link and is automatically
set to the right system settings.
With this function you can align the sequence
of the channels on your TV (analogue only)
with those on your recorder. Make sure you
have connected the TV to the
EXT1 TO TV-I/O socket of this recorder.
This function enables you to record a
programme from your Satellite Receiver or
any other devices. Make sure that the device is
connected to the EXT2 AUX-I/O socket of
this recorder, and the timer setting has been
done on the connected device.
Direct Record
This function allows you to instantly record the
programme (analogue TV channels only) you
see on the TV without tuning this recorder to
the same programme.
Time Shift Buffer
As soon as you turn on this recorder, the
programme showing on the TV will be stored
into the ‘Time Shift Buffer’. It acts as a
temporary HDD storage of your recordings.
The contents will be automatically deleted after
6 (six) hours or when you turn off this
recorder. To store the contents on the hard
disk permanently, you have to mark the section
in the ‘Time Shift Buffer’ for recording to
prevent them from being deleted.
Instant Replay
You can repeat a scene of a live TV programme
by pressing REPLAY button on the remote
control, as often as you like. If you wish to return
to the live TV programme, just press TUNER.
