If the hard disc is full, the recorder  
automatically makes space available  
for new recordings. You can prevent  
deletion of your most important  
recordings, so they can only be  
deleted on your command.  
With the hard disc recorder, you do not have to clutter up your home with piles of video tapes. You can  
store your recordings on the hard disc and bring up an overview of recordings on your television screen  
at any time.  
The hard disc recorder also makes it  
possible for you to pause an on-going  
programme for a short break and replay  
it later, so you do not miss anything.  
Record programmes  
The hard disc recorder gives you the opportunity  
Replay buffer  
HARD DISC  
CONTENT  
to record and store TV, Satellite (DTV*) and  
set-top box (STB) programmes on the hard disc.  
You decide whether to store them temporarily  
or permanently. The manual and timed  
recordings you make are stored in HARD DISC  
CONTENT, and the on-going programs you  
pause and replay are put temporarily in a  
three-hour replay buffer. If you wish, you can  
move saved programmes from the buffer to  
HARD DISC CONTENT.  
*NOTE! On some Beo4 remote controls, the DTV  
button is called SAT and the VMEM button is  
called VTAPE.

The Beo4 remote control included with your  
television gives you access to all functions.  
When a function is in use, you are informed  
via displays on Beo4, on the recorder or on  
the television screen.  
When switched on from standby, the hard  
disc recorder takes up to 35 seconds to start  
up. During this time, you can use the menu  
system, but you can neither play recordings  
nor make new recordings.

recorder.  
TIMER  
RECORD  
REPLAY  
It tells you if you are replaying an  
on-going program, if there are timed  
recordings waiting to be executed,  
and if a recording is in progress.  
TIMER  
(Standby indicator)  
Indicates that a timed recording has been  
programmed into the recorder.  
The indicator shines red when you switch off the  
recorder. The indicator shines green when the  
recorder is in use. The indicator flashes red and  
green if the recorder is overheating.  
If two recordings overlap or if a  
recording can not be executed,  
this is indicated as well.  
TIMER remains on during standby, and flashes  
if a timer recording can not be executed.  
Operation of the hard disc recorder is  
guided by on-screen menus accessible  
via the main menu. In the menus,  
move the cursor from item to item.  
For each item, information can be  
keyed in directly or you can browse  
through the options available.  
RECORD  
‘Recording in progress’ indication.  
RECORD flashes if a manual recording can not be  
executed for some reason – for example, if there  
is a conflict with a timed recording.  
REPLAY  
The hard disc recorder allows you to ‘pause’ the  
current programme if, for example, you wish to  
take a short break, and replay the programme later.  
REPLAY indicates that the current source, such as  
V.TUNER, is being replayed from the three-hour  
buffer on the hard drive.  
For further information, refer to the  
chapter ‘On-screen menus’ on page 42.  
For further information about how to replay an  
on-going program, refer to the chapter ‘Pause

About space management and protection  
The hard disc recorder has a space management  
feature which, when necessary, automatically  
makes space for manual and timed recordings.  
It does so by deleting the required amount of  
content on the hard disc. The following principles  
apply:  
To delete a recording …  
> Press VMEM* then the green button to bring  
up the hard disc recorder’s main menu.  
HARD DISC CONTENT is already highlighted.  
> Press GO to bring up the menu.  
> Press to highlight the recording you wish to  
delete.  
– Protected recordings are never deleted.  
– Recordings that have been viewed or edited are  
deleted before recordings that have not been  
viewed or edited.  
> Press to be able to delete the recording – the  
recording is then shown in yellow.  
> Press the yellow button to confirm, or press  
to move the recording back into the list.  
> Select another recording to delete, or press  
EXIT to leave the menu.  
– The oldest recordings are deleted first.  
– The maximum number of recordings that can be  
stored on the hard disc is 300.  
– Timed recordings are not executed if the hard  
disc is full and all recordings are protected, and  
any recordings in progress are stopped auto-  
matically when the hard disc capacity is reached.  
*NOTE! On some Beo4 remote controls, the VMEM  
button is called VTAPE.

What’s on the SETUP menu …  
(REPLAY) … The REPLAY setting determines when  
the hard disc recorder starts copying an on-  
going programme to the replay buffer. Options  
are OFF, BASIC and EXTENDED. Basic replay  
starts copying to the buffer when you pause an  
on-going program. Extended replay starts  
copying to the buffer as soon as you choose a  
source, such as V.TUNER. REPLAY is set to OFF  
from the factory. Note that this setting makes  
V.TUNER inaccessible! For further information  
about replay, refer to the chapter ‘Pause and  
replay an on-going program’ on page 20.  
MENU LANGUAGE … Choose between eight  
languages for the menu system.  
FEATURE LEVEL … Options are BASIC and  
ADVANCED. The BASIC set of features allows  
you to operate the hard disc recorder like you  
would a video tape recorder, while ADVANCED  
also makes it possible for you to, for example,  
place recordings in Groups, and limit access to  
recordings via Parental Lock.  
(PARENTAL LOCK CODE) … Allows you to enter  
an access code, which can then be used to limit  
access to recordings. Use the number buttons  
to enter the code.  
(GROUPS) … Eight predefined Groups are  
available for you to place recordings in. You can  
move and rename these Groups in the GROUPS  
menu. Use the arrow buttons to rearrange the  
order in which Groups appear. Press the green  
button to be able to rename them. Press or  
to select characters, and or to move  
between characters in the name. Press GO  
when done.  
TUNING … Fine-tune the programs stored on the  
hard disc recorder’s own tuner. You can also  
adjust the sound setting – mono or stereo. If  
you have registered a decoder in the  
CONNECTIONS menu, you can select the  
connected decoder as well. If you have set  
FEATURE LEVEL to ADVANCED, access the  
TUNING menu via the EXTRA menu.  
(RECORDING QUALITY) … Indicates the quality of  
recording. Options are STANDARD and HIGH.  
Note that a recording occupies less space on the  
hard disc if you select STANDARD.  
CLOCK … Set the time and date. This is important  
for the correct execution of timed recordings. If  
you have set FEATURE LEVEL to ADVANCED,  
access the CLOCK menu via the EXTRA menu.  
RECORDING DURATION … Sets a standard length  
of time for manual recordings. This means you  
do not have to switch off a manual recording  
yourself.  
CONNECTIONS … Register any product you have  
connected to the hard disc recorder: a set-top  
box (STB), a video tape recorder (V.TAPE), a  
DVD player (DVD), a decoder (DECODER) or  
other equipment (V.AUX). Press to highlight  
the product you have connected, and press GO  
to store the setting. If you select STB, the STB  
SETUP menu appears. Find your set-top box in  
the list on the screen.  
 
Set up the hard disc recorder

Follow the guidelines and procedures  
on these pages when you set up the  
hard disc recorder.  
Placement guidelines  
Place the hard disc recorder on a solid, level  
surface. Do not place any items on top of the  
hard disc recorder.  
Place the hard disc recorder away from  
radiators, direct sunlight and other heat  
sources.  
Do not place the hard disc recorder on  
a carpeted surface, as carpet blocks the  
ventilation holes.  
When placing the hard disc recorder, leave space  
around it for adequate ventilation.  
The hard disc recorder is intended for indoor  
use in dry, domestic environments only,  
within a temperature range of 10–40˚C  
(50–104˚F).  
What to do if the hard disc recorder  
overheats  
WARNING  
If, for example, the ventilation holes are blocked,  
or if you have placed the hard disc recorder in  
direct sunlight, the recorder may overheat. If this  
happens, the standby indicator in the display  
flashes red and green and a warning appears on  
the screen.  
THE HARD DISC RECORDER IS OVERHEATING  
PLEASE SWITCH IT TO STANDBY  
If this warning appears on the screen and you do  
not switch off the hard disc recorder, it switches  
itself off automatically after a few minutes, and  
remains off until it has cooled sufficiently. You  
cannot operate the hard disc recorder during this  
time.  
Switch the hard disc recorder off immediately and  
let it cool. Before switching it on again, ensure  
that you have placed it as described on this page.
