Using the DVR

The DVR allows you to watch and record TV in a completely new way. To help you understand and operate

its functionality, please become familiar with the following terms and functions.

Hard Disk

A hard disk drive is built in to the DVR to enable you to record and store programming so you no longer need to

record to videotapes. The hard disk drive in this DVR is 40GB, allowing you to store over 40 hours of

programming using Super Compression Technology (see below).

The amount of hard disk space available is displayed in the Hard Disk Usage bar, both in 'Record' and Library'.

This indicates the amount of free, used and reserved space for scheduled recordings currently available.

Super Compresson Technology (SCT)

SCT allows you to increase the capacity of the hard disk by compressing the broadcast to maximise storage

space. When recording a programme on the DVR, you can select your preferred recording mode, equivalent to

VCR recording modes. These range from SP (Short Play – the normal recording speed) offering highest quality

recordings using maximum hard disk capacity, LP (Long Play), to EP (Extended Play), creating lowest quality

recording using minimum hard disk capacity.

Recorded programmes can be compressed to create additional storage space, either when the recording is set or

once the recording has been made – see page 22 for further details. When this occurs, additional disk space is

required to perform the operation. It may be necessary to delete existing recordings stored in the library to allow for

the compression to take place.
