Typographic conventions
Several symbols are used throughout these
operating instructions to assist the user
in identifying actions, tasks and important
information.
Begin a task
This symbol indicates the beginning of a
specific task, and it is usually followed by a
step by step listing of the actions needed to
complete that task.
Information
This symbol indicates that a statement
contains explanatory or additional information
relevent to the particular task.
Caution
This symbol indicates that a statement
contains important information that has a
significant impact on the operation of the
product.
Ignoring this type of symbol could result in
damage to the product or external equipment,
loss of recorded programs or information.
Step by Step
These symbols indicate a step by step
process required to complete a particular task
or use a specific function of the product. All
the steps of a single task are joined by a grey
bar, and other symbols such as and !
may appear within that bar.
Losing power to the PVR
Switch the PVR to standby mode prior to switching off at the mains. Doing
so minimises any chance of damaging the hard drive inside the PVR or
losing recorded programs.
Manual User Time Settings
The user time settings will need to be re-entered after a loss of mains
power, or a power cycle. The time should not need to be re-entered if the
time mode is automatic and the broadcaster supports time broadcasts.
Using Component Video (YPbPr)
Use a SCART to Component video (YPbPr) cable to connect the PVR to
your display device. Press the TV OUT button on the remote control to
activate YPbPr output.
First Time Boot Procedure
When turned on for the first time, the PVR will boot up to standby mode.
Press the Power Button on the remote control to go from standby to run
mode. The PVR will scan for broadcasts.
Total Available Recording Time
The total recording time available to the PVR will vary as broadcasters
vary the bandwidth - and therefore space - used to transmit certain
programs. Sports and feature films often use a greater amount of
bandwidth (and storage space). As a result the available capacity of the
PVR falls within a range depending on what has been recorded onto
it. Generally speaking the 80GB PVR3790 can record up to 35 hours
of programs, while the 120GB PVR3790 can record up to 60 hours of
programs.
Buffer length for Manual vs Continuous
Timeshifting
Activating Timeshifting by pressing the PAUSE button will store up to
a maximum of 60 minutes of programming. Continuous timeshifting,
activated via the Timeshift sub-menu; will automatically continuously
timeshift a maximum of 25 minutes of programming.
