About the Digital Recorder system
Your SHARP TV set is equipped with a Digital Recorder
that includes a hard disk. You can use this to record
and playback picture and sound from TV programmes,
like with a VCR or DVD recorder. HDTV programmes
can also be recorded and played back. However,
the possibilities of the Digital Recorder are far more
versatile than those of a VCR or DVD recorder:
✔ Time shift viewing
When you’re watching TV, the phone rings …
Don’t worry. You can pause a TV programme and
continue playing it later.
✔ Chasing playback
You return home early when a timer-recorded football
game is already in progress …
Don’t wait. You can simply rewind to the beginning of
the game while still recording.
✔ Simultaneous recording/playback
You don’t have to sit and wait until the recording ends.
You can play DVDs or programmes already recorded in
the HDD while recording.
✔ Instant replay
You jump back 40 seconds at the press of a button to
watch the scene again. The live picture is shown at the
same time in the PIP window.
✔ Archiving the time-shifted recording
You can also decide to copy the whole TV programme
into the Digital Recorder’s archive at the end of a TV
programme you have been watching with a time shift.
✔ Fast navigation by jumping
Jump backwards and forwards in the programme at
the press of a button.
The jump distance is adjustable.
In addition, the special function “Smart jump” ensures
that for each change in jump direction the jump
distance is cut in half. This way you can feel your way
quickly to a certain spot in the time shift playback.
✔ Fast forward and rewind
You can fast forward and rewind at three different
speeds in the programme you are viewing. (Rewind is
not possible with HDTV.)
✔ Slow motion
You can watch the programme you are viewing at four
different slow motion speeds.
✔ Setting bookmarks
During a football match, for example, you can flag
goals or exciting scenes. (For this, the time-shift
recording is converted into an archive recording.) For
later playback, you can play bookmarks as highlights.
✔ Recording straight into the archive
The archive holds between 20 and 100 hours of
programmes, depending on the recording quality set.
✔ Timer recording using EPG or teletext
Comfortably select your favourite programme for
recording, from the EPG or teletext. The Digital
Recorder records up to 50 timer recordings - even in
your absence.
✔ Serial recording
You can conveniently programme serials which run
daily, weekly or from Monday to Friday.
✔ Delete Manager
An automatic delete manager always ensures there is
sufficient recording space for new programmes.
✔ Editing archived titles
You can sort, edit/rename, lock or delete the titles in
the DR archive. You can also delete or hide sections of
the selected programme.
✔ Copying your recordings to a video/DVD
recorder
Recordings which you wish to watch repeatedly
on a long-term basis should be burnt to a DVD or
transferred to a video recorder. The programme can
then be deleted from the archive. For data transmission
to external equipment, you can do this by using the
“Copy” command.
Limitation during PIP operation
If on the main screen you see the live picture and
you open the PIP picture, generally the background
recording for time-shift TV is ended and deleted.
With archive recording and time-shift TV, there may
be limitations on the stations which you can select
for the PIP picture.
