If you connect a USB Hard Drive, you can pause or record a TV broadcast. The TV broadcast must be a digital broadcast (DVB broadcast or similar).

Before you can pause or record a broadcast, you must connect and format a USB Hard Drive. Formatting removes all files from the USB Hard Drive.

To Pause

To pause a broadcast, you need a USB compatible Hard Drive with a minimum of 4GB disk space.

To Record

To pause and record a broadcast, you need a minimum of 250GB disk space. If you want to record a broadcast with TV guide data from the Internet, you need to have the Internet connection installed on your TV before you install the USB Hard Drive.

1. Connect the USB Hard Drive to one of the USB connections on the TV. Do not connect another USB device to the other USB ports when formatting.
2. Switch on the USB Hard Drive and the TV.
3. When the TV is tuned to a digital TV channel, press  (Pause). Trying to pause will start the formatting.

Follow the instructions on screen.

When the USB Hard Drive is formatted, leave it connected permanently. 

Warning

The USB Hard Drive is formatted exclusively for this TV, you cannot use the stored recordings on another TV or PC. Do not copy or change recording files on the USB Hard Drive with any PC application. This will corrupt your recordings. When you format another USB Hard Drive, the content on the former will be lost. A USB Hard Drive installed on your TV will need reformatting for use with a computer.
