Series Link (with Auto Folder)
When setting a timer recording through the Electronic Programme Guide (EPG) if the
programme is part of a series, you will be prompted to choose to record just the single
programme or continue recording the entire series. When you select to record the entire
series, every future episode of the programme will then be automatically recorded.
Where series recording is selected a folder is automatically created for the series within the
Navigator menu. All new programmes from that series are then stored in the series folder

Updating Grace note Database via USB
Music Jukebox (with Gracenote™CD Database)
When you insert a CD the DVD Recorder will prompt you to either Play the CD or copy it to
the Hard Disk (HDD models only). Up to 300 albums can be copied. The album and tracks
are identified from the built in Gracenote database. The database can be updated using a
USB memory stick and a PC connected to the internet.

HDD Camcorder Link Via USB
This function is similar in principle to the DV Auto Recording facility that has existed on our
DVD recorders for several years.
HDD Camcorders use USB connectors for downloading to a PC. The same USB connector
can be used to download the video footage directly to the DVD recorder’s hard disk. The
DVD recorder detects the camera connected and automatically selects the correct menu to
allow downloading.

USB Playback & Record
Insert a USB memory stick into the front USB port. The DVD recorder detects the USB port is
in use and a pop-up menu appears allowing you to select to copy or play JPEG files, Copy or
play MP3 files, or to play DIVX files from the memory stick.
Any time you want this menu to appear, simply insert the USB memory stick.
