USB (Universal Serial Bus) Recording Â- what is it? The last few years more & more TVÂ’s are equipped with one or more USB (Universal Serial Bus) port (s). We have already grown accustomed to playing back photos & movies from a USB (Universal Serial Bus) hard drive or USB (Universal Serial Bus) stick on the TV. Now an additional USB (Universal Serial Bus) feature has been added to TV sets Â- USB (Universal Serial Bus) Recording. If you have recently bought a new TV there is good chance that it will support USB (Universal Serial Bus) Recording, in particular when you have bought a mid range or high end TV. USB (Universal Serial Bus) Recording enables you to record programmes to an external storage device directly connected to your TV via USB (Universal Serial Bus). Your external HDD basically acts as a videorecorder. You can also use it to pause live TV. Please note: Only European TVs have USB (Universal Serial Bus) recording. US models have the feature disabled due to legal issues. With USB (Universal Serial Bus) Recording, your external USB (Universal Serial Bus) hard drive becomes the replacement of your HDD/DVD recorder or even your VHS videorecorders. What do you need? First of all you need to check if your TV supports USB (Universal Serial Bus) recording. Setting up USB (Universal Serial Bus) Recording on your TV Once you have connected your external USB (Universal Serial Bus) hard drive to the USB (Universal Serial Bus) recording port of your TV you can move on to initializing the USB (Universal Serial Bus) HDD with the TV. 1. Connect the USB (Universal Serial Bus) HDD to a free USB (Universal Serial Bus) port on the back of the TV. 2. The USB (Universal Serial Bus) hard drive now needs to be formatted by the TV, meaning that all current data (if any) on the hard drive will be deleted. Most TVs will recognize that there is a USB (Universal Serial Bus) HDD inserted & will prompt you to format the USB (Universal Serial Bus) HDD automatically, but on some models you need to enter the menu & select “format HDD” (or something similar). 3. The HDD will be formatted in a proprietary format. Next to this, the HDD will be linked to this particular TV. You therefore cannot record a TV programme on one TV, disconnect the HDD & try to watch the programme on another TV or on a computer. 4. Most TVÂ’s allow a maximum of 8 different USB (Universal Serial Bus) HDDÂ’s to be initialized on that particular TV set 5. To record a programme, simply press thebutton on your remote control (it will then record the channel you are watching), or use the timer function (in combination with your Electronic Programming Guide) to schedule recording a future programme Â- this works on most TVÂ’s even when the TV is off. To pause Live TV, press thebutton on your remote control. Please refer to your TVÂ’s user manual for more details.
