6. Can I record one channel while watching another?

The media center does not support recording and watching separate channels. You can watch any content that

is on your media player while a show is recording. So, if you have any movies saved on the media player, or

external memory, you can watch them while you are recording Live TV.

7. How is Timeshift different from recording?

Timeshift is a temporary recording feature that allows you to pause Live TV, and come back to watch what you

have recorded within a time span of 30 minutes. Since the recording buffer is 30 minutes, only the most recent

30 minutes of Live TV will be recorded. So, if you leave for longer than 30 minutes, you will miss some of the

recording. Timeshift works best for if you plan to return to watching TV within 30 minutes. If you plan to be away

longer, then recording is the better option. Recording will actually record any TV shows to the Multimedia

Center‟s hard drive. The recording is only limited to the available space on the hard drive. You can come back at

any time to watch the recorded show. Please refer to Page 41 of the user manual for more detailed

instructions.

8. I have a lot of movies in formats that are not supported by the media center. Is there any way I can

watch them on the media center?

There is a program called Transcode Server that allows you to play some formats that are not supported by the

media player. Please note that Transcode Server is not a product that Cirago makes or supports. Transcode

Server supports the playback of H.264 and MKV files on the media center. As of March, 2009, Transcode server

only works with Windows Operating Systems. Download the Transcode Server software and instructions from
