D Back in the main window you can start recording your TV
programme. First choose the desired programme. When you are ready,
simply click on the recording button – that's the red cricle below on the
control panel. Additionally, the Media Center displays an icon in the
Windows task bar that reminds you of the current recording.
E Just as with a traditional video recorder you can now watch the
currently-running programme whilst you are recording it. Always
remember that video recording is extremely data-intensive and
compression also requires a lot of processing time. For this reason, you
should not do other computer-intensive work during a recording, such as
photo editing. This may cause disturbances or fuzziness in the picture
and/or sound. If you wish to stop the recording, simply click on the Stop
button. So that you do not accidentally interrupt an important recording,
you are asked again whether you really wish to stop the recording. Then
the programme is saved onto the hard disk.
F If you would like to record a film whilst you are not at home, this is
also no problem for the Media Center. To do this you can pre-program a
recording, just as with a conventional video recorder. Simply go to the
menu in the TV-Aufzeichnungen window. By clicking Sortieren a
previously recorded programme can be listed and a desired recording
played back. The Geplant button indicates the programmed TV
programmes that the Media Center will record for you in the near future.
