8.5 Teletext
With this receiver, teletext can be viewed in two different ways.
The so-called "OSD Text" is utilizing the built-in teletext decoder of this receiver. It can be operated
with the remote control unit of this receiver. Usually, it is much faster than the conventional teletext. It
can be used also with TV monitors or projectors that don't have an integrated teletext decoder.
An other option is called "VBI Text" that leaves decoding up to a teletext decoder that is built into the
TV set. In this case, all teletext functions must be operated through the remote control unit of the TV
set.
To enter "OSD Text" press the TTX button on the remote control unit of this receiver.
To select the teletext pages use the numeric or buttons. The purpose of the color buttons on the
remote control unit is explained in the bottom line of the teletext window.
To switch off teletext, press the EXIT button or TTX button again.

9.Hard Disc Recording
9.1 About Hard Disk Recording
This set top box allows to built-in a hard disk drive (HDD). It can be used to record and store TV and
radio programs. Basically, the hard disc is similar to those being used in personal computers.
To make the best use of your HDD recordings, we recommend to keep in mind these rules as a
general information:
We suggest that you spend some time testing the major functions along with HDD recordings in order
make yourself familiar with them.
The recording capacity of the HDD is quite large, however, it is limited. The recording time depends
on the HDD capacity and it with a 40 GB HDD is it possible up to 25 hours recording. (80 GB = 50 h,
120 GB =75 h).
Actual recording time may vary because it widely depends on the recorded program material and its
data volume. In case of radio reception, recording time can be up to 40 times larger than TV recording
time.
A small portion of the HDD capacity is always reserved for "Time Shift" recording and cannot be used
for regular storage of TV or radio programs.
Remember to delete recordings from the disk that you don't needed any longer.
Recordings made on the built-in disk cannot be digitally transferred to an external digital recording
device.
Recordings you want to keep you may transfer to a conventional analogue VCR.
This set top box can be used also for direct recording of TV and radio programs on a conventional
analogue VCR.
Recording can be made only from the channel you are watching for the moment. For example, you
cannot watch TV program no. 1 and record program no. 2 at the same time.
Timer recordings (internal HDD or externally connected conventional VCR) can be booked easily by
using the EPG recording function.
Time Shift (TS) viewing / recording is one of the big advantages of the built-in HDD. You can start
watching playback of a recorded program while the recording of the same program is still in progress.
Or you can pause viewing a TV program and continue watching some time later without missing
anything: the HDD drive has performed necessary intermediate recording meanwhile.
There are three different ways of recording:
Instant Recording: Just press a button and store what you currently see on the screen.
Timer recording: Use EPG or timer function to perform unattended recordings of TV or radio
programs.
Time Shift recording: This function is useful when you want to start viewing a live TV program later
than scheduled or in case you want to take a break while watching TV.
