this input. Now press `2´ to choose an image quality: Reduced,
normal and high quality. The best quality setting here depends
on the footage itself. You can experiment with short scenes
and all three settings. There‘s no point in recording vary old
footage with the highest recording setting. You can enter the
title and album name right here and begin recording by pres-
sing the Record button. The Pause button stops the recording.
Press Pause (or Record) again to continue recording. Press
Stop to end the recording session. The next recording will
create a new film in the archive.
Edit film
At the top, you can see a preview screen of the film. At the top
right, you can see the title or name of the film. Below, some
time data: Old length corresponds to the length of the comple-
te recording. New length is the current length, according to the
editing marks set. You can see the two lengths differ – it is the
preset pre-roll and post recording time making this difference.
The position is where the current key point is located, more
about this in the next paragraphs.
Beneath the film is a time bar displaying the film graphically.
The single segments (usually bits and pieces from previous
and following TV shows) determine what is to be deleted.
As you already know, the first key point is automatically set.
You can recognise this key point by the arrow below the time
bar. Its position depends on the defined pre-roll time. The
grey/green segment to the left of the key point represents the
currently marked segment to be deleted – which still needs to
be confirmed.
You may notice that the Help page shows you some of the
key functions. Press the direction buttons to skip through the
film in 10 frame steps (back and forth). The P+ and P- buttons
change the step size. Press the P+ button one time to change
the setting from frames to seconds, press again and chan-
ge seconds into minutes. The steps of ten and single steps
remain unchanged.
The more your archives are organized from the start, the easier
you will be able to find particular films later. Think about mea-
ningful terms and information for the available text fields.
Tip: If you rename an album to a name already used by ano-
ther album, the two albums will be reduced to one.

In order to edit an imported film directly using the Media Ma-
nager, press the options button. There are several options:
Delete all recordings
Press the red heart button to delete (move to trashcan) all the
films in the archive in one go. If the system is set to `all films´
you will not see any items at this stage. Select another display
type with left/right to the series/album display – this will show
you the trashcan. Press OK to restore all films and put them
back into the regular list. Alternatively, enter the trashcan and
select single films with OK to restore them individually.
Hard disk usage

city and the archives. It shows the number of films and series
folders, the number of music tracks and albums as well as the
number of photos and albums.
