Recording with the HDD
Time shift recording and archive recording
There are 2 ways of recording a TV programme with 
the HDD. One is Time shift recording and the other is 
Archive recording.
E
 Time shift recording
The TV automatically records the programme currently 
tuned in. Pause, rewind, and chasing playback is 
available with the live programmes just like recorded 
programmes. Every time you change the channel, the 
old recording data of the previous channel is discarded 
and the new recording starts.
•  While this is working, the indicator lights green.
•  If you choose not to use this feature, set “DR continuous 
operation” to “off”.
•  The maximum time shift duration is approximately 3 hours, 
depending on the conditions.
E
 Archive recording
You can record programmes onto the DR archive’s 
hard disk drive.
About Delete Manager
The Delete Manager always makes sure there is 
enough memory space on the hard disk for new 
recordings. When the capacity of the hard disk is 
almost exhausted, the old recordings are deleted.
Recordings which you have marked with delete 
protection are not deleted by the Delete Manager. 
You can delete these recordings manually.
For settings and cancelling delete protection, see 
page 50.
To avoid loss of data, we recommend you copy 
important recordings onto video tape or a writable 
DVD, and delete the recordings from the Digital 
Recorder after copying to save space.
SHARP is not liable for data loss on the Digital 
Recorder’s hard disk.
