The product we received for our tests was a pre-release model,
which means that some details turned out to not yet fully operational.
SCPC is a point we would like to address in this regard,

drives or USB memory sticks,
which transform the DTS 6600
into a genuine PVR receiver.
This feature worked without a
glitch in our test and both HD

played back perfectly, including
the time shifting. The
remote control does not come
with a PVR key, which means
that the ZOOM button and
the colour-coded buttons are
used for PVR commands.
A FileExplorer can be
accessed via the main menu
and is used to show data
located on the external storage
medium. The DTS 6600
does not only list all available
recordings, it can also list and
