This DVD Video recorder records high quality images to rapid
random access capable HDD (Hard disk drive) or DVD-RAM. This
has resulted in many new features that out perform older tape
formats. The following information summarizes a few of these
features.
Instant
recording
You no longer need to search for empty disc space. By pressing the
recording button, the unit finds available recording space and begins
recording right away. There is no need to worry about overwriting
already recorded content.
TV Guide On Screen TM
system
The TV Guide On Screen system provides a handy electronic
program guide (EPG) for checking what's on. Setting up to record a
broadcast is easy too. Simply select the desired program from the
displayed list. You can also search for desired programs
alphabetically or by displaying only the programs in a certain
category.
eTV Guide On Screen is available in the continental United States.
In Canada, however, it is under development and may not function
properly.
HDD
recording
You can keep on recording your favorite programmes to an internal
HDD that is able to record up to 213 hours when using EP (8 Hour)
mode.
You can also high speed transfer (dub) your favorite programmes to
DVD-RAM or DVD-R and create a backup disc.
Instant play
There is no need to rewind or search forward. Direct Navigator
guides you to the beginning of the recorded video immediately.
Chasing playback
There is no need to wait until recording is
complete. Without stopping recording,
you can play the video currently being
recorded from its beginning.
Simultaneous Recording
and Playback
While recording, you can play another
video program that was recorded
previously.
Time Slip
During play and also while recording, you
can jump to the scene you wish to view
by specifying the skip time.
