Recording quality

Your DTH 8005 can record several hours of TV programmes or video sequences from a connected device.This capacity depends on the discs and the quality adjustment selected in the

Recording Options menu.

Note: all times are approximative. Access to the adjustment menu is impossible if recording is underway.

Depending on the adjustment selected, the recording time of a DVD+R or DVD+RW disc is as follows:

*1 : Best - 1 hour.

*2 : High - 2 hours.

*3 : Good - 3 hours.

*4 : Normal - 4 hours.

*5 : Basic - 6 hours.

*6 : Low - 8 hours.

SmartRecord???

This function allows you to avoid manipulation errors when you wish to record a programme on a disc that is almost full. By activating the SmartRecord??? function your DTH 8005 will adapt the recording quality by positioning it automatically to one of the 6 settings in order to permit entire recording of the desired programme.

VPS/PDC

Triggers all your programming at the actual broadcast times (if the channel broadcasts VPS/PDC signals).

Note: the VPS (Video Programming System) and PDC (Program Delivery Control) signals are transmitted at the same time as certain programmes, by certain channels and in certain European countries. Leave this function active to benefit from its benefits for all your programming. If the channel does not broadcast VPS or PDC signasl, your DTH 8005 will record at the start and stop times selected during the programming of the recording (page 23).

Settings

The information relating to the Naviclick TV guide programmes comes from a combination of the TV programmes guide,Teletext and NexTView service transmitted by certain channels.To optimise the Naviclick programmes guide of your DTH 8005, you have the possibility of changing certain settings as shown below.The information from the NexTView service is more reliable than Teletext.

The programs are downloaded either at 3 AM or 8 AM.To choose the downloading time, follow the instructions below:

1.If the main menu is not displayed, press the MENU key on the remote control.

2.With the , keys, select Setup then Installation followed by Naviclick Setup. Each time, press OK to validate.

3.The line Update Time is already selected, press OK.

Choice of NexTView channel

The downloading of programmes, via the NexTView service, is only possible on certain channels. From step 2 above, select NexTView Channel and choose with the PR+ or PR- keys, a channel that broadcasts a programme guide. Hold the key down for a rapid selection. See the list of channels on the following page.

Updating Naviclick (via Teletext)

Sometimes certain channels modify the organisation of their Teletext journal. In this case, unless there has been a total modification of the structure, you must update the number of the first page of Teletext allocated to the programmes guide.The list of pages is generally broadcast with the Teletext journal. Use the Teletext function of your television set to find this information. Look for the number of the page for the current day programmes and the number of the page for the following day programmes. See also the limited list on the following page.

From step 2 above, select Channel Page and press OK.The menu that is displayed indicates, channel by channel, 2 Teletext page numbers (the first for current day programmes, the second for the following day programmes).
