watch what you have recorded within a short time span. Since the recording buffer is preset

(between 1 hour and 4 hours), If the recording buffer is set for 1 hour, only the most recent 60

minutes will be recorded. So, if you leave for longer than 60 minutes, you will miss some of the

recording. Timeshift works best for if you plan to return to watching TV within 60 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.

10. 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

11. When I connect the media center to my computer via the USB cable, nothing

happens. What am I doing wrong?

Make sure the media center is powered on. Connect the media center to your computer via

USB cable provided. Your computer should recognize the media center as a removable

storage device. If your computer still does not recognize the media center, try using another

USB port on your computer.

12. Can I use the media center to store files other than media files?

Yes, depending on which model of the media center you have, you either have 500GB or 1 TB

of space. You can use the media center to store all kinds of files. The media center will play

only media files, but it can store files in any format. It can be used as an external hard drive.
