Introduction

The availability of Freeview digital terrestrial services in your home depends on your local transmitter and the

configuration of your existing reception equipment.

You should have already checked your postcode to see if you are in a Freeview coverage area.

If not, please contact Freeview immediately:

■Call 08708 809980

■Text your postcode to 83331

■Visit www.freeview.co.uk

If you are in a Freeview coverage area but are unable to receive all available channels for your location, it is

recommended you have a site survey by a professional aerial installer to ensure aerial alignment and ‘line of site’

to the transmitter are optimised. If you do not know of a local aerial installer, please call the Confederation of Aerial

Industries (www.cai.org.uk) on 0208 902 8998 who will be able to recommend one.

Introduction

■Avoid extremes of temperature, either hot or cold.

■Place your unit well away from heat sources such as radiators or gas/electric fires. Do not place the

unit on surfaces such as cloth, carpet, sponge etc.

■Make sure that no naked flame sources, such as lighted candles, are placed on top of the unit. If the

■unit is exposed to drastic temperature changes, for example when taking it from a cold to a warm ■

■place, let it stand at the new place for at least two hours before connecting it to the mains adaptor.

■The heat built up in the set escapes through ventilation holes, so do not cover the unit with drapes, ■

■clothes etc. as that may block air circulation. This unit is designed to operate in a moderate climate.

■If you wish to place the unit on a shelf or wall unit, always ensure there is a minimum air gap of 8 cm

■around the top, sides and rear to assist ventilation.

■Clean the unit using a slightly damp cloth or chamois leather. Never use abrasive cleaning agents like

■liquid or aerosol cleaners.

■Remove the mains plug from the socket outlet while cleaning. When plugging out the power supply

from the mains hold the unit by its body and not the cord.

■Your unit is designed to operate with the mains adaptor supplied. Do not connect your unit to power

■sources other than that supplied.

Batteries are easily swallowed by young children. Do not allow young children to play with the remote control unit.

Thunderstorms are a danger for any electrical appliance. Even when switched off, the unit might be damaged by lightning striking the mains supply and/or the

aerial lead. During a thunderstorm it is advisable to unplug the aerial from your receiver. Even if your receiver and TV are switched off, they can still be damaged

by lightening strikes.

Never use the unit if it is damaged in any way or attempt to open it. Damage caused by unqualified work is not covered by the manufacturer’s guarantee and removal of fixed

covers may expose dangerous voltages.

Please read all the safety instructions before first use of your unit.

■ Position the power supply and other leads so that they are not likely to be walked on or pinched by things

■placed on or against them. When plugging in the power supply to the mains make sure your hands are not

wet.

■Do not place objects filled with liquid such as a flower pot on top of the unit.

■Do not expose the unit to rain, moisture, dust, dripping or splashing of liquids. If any liquid is spilt into your

■unit it can cause serious damage. If you spill any liquid into the unit, switch it off at the mains and contact ■

■your retailer.

DVR Terms and Phrases

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.

Using the DVR

Pause and Rewind Live TV

When the DVR is switched on, it automatically records up to the last 30 minutes of the channel it has been tuned to.

This allows you to:

■exactly the same point at which you left.

■Rewind and play up to 30 minutes of the TV channel the DVR has been tuned to

■Delayed live mode – pause or rewind live TV so it plays as though it is live

■Playback mode – play recorded programmes stored in the ‘Library’

Scenes

When recordings are stored to the hard disk, snapshot images are automatically generated at 5 minute intervals

throughout the programme and displayed in the ‘Library’ for enhanced navigation. Each snapshot displayed

represents the beginning of a 5 minute scene.

Recording Icons

The recording icon is displayed in different colours in the Guide to indicate the type of recording activity:

Red – recording progamme to hard disk

Green – recording the last 30 minutes of the TV channel to watch in delayed live mode
