HIFTING MODE
There are two modes when displaying the TV tuner or any external
analogue sources: Recording Mode and Time Shifting mode.
Recording mode
• Recording mode
In Recording mode, analogue sources and DV input can be recorded.
Recordings can be made on the HDD or on a DVD.
• Time Shifting mode
In Time Shifting mode, only analogue sources can be recorded.
Recordings are made only on the HDD.
The Time Shifting mode enables the user to "pause and control live
TV". From the moment the Easy HDD Recorder is on the Time
Shifting mode, it will continuously record the analogue source (TV
for example) into its 3 hours buffer. This gives the possibility for the
user to review and record the last 3 hours that have been previously
broadcasted.
