The next time you feel the call of nature, there will be no need to suffer until the commercial break just to make sure that you won't miss a single second. Note: the Record button is disabled during timeshift playback. Interrupting a program--starting timeshift recording Press the Pause button to pause the current program. The top line of the display (channel number, station name, mode) will be displayed in red, and the red Pause icon will be displayed to signal that timeshifting is enabled. Continuing your viewing--starting timeshift playback Press the Playback button to continue watching the program from the point at which you paused it. Interrupting the program again--pausing timeshift playback Need to get up again?Simply press the Pause button again during timeshift playback to once again pause the program. To continue, press the Playback button again, as before. You can repeat this as often as necessary. Returning to the real-time broadcast (1)--quitting timeshift completely To quit timeshift playback and recording in order to go back to watching the program in real time, press the Stop button. The top line of the display (channel number, station name, mode) will once again be displayed in black. The red Pause icon will no longer be displayed, indicating that timeshifting is no longer enabled. If you have specified in the configuration menu that timeshift recordings should not be deleted, you will find the complete recording--from the first interruption, to the time you stopped the timeshift by pressing Stop--in the Record folder. Cinergy Digital 2 (English) 19 Returning to the real-time broadcast (2) Press the Skip button to continue watching the program in real time without disabling timeshift recording. Fast-forwarding a program Use this button to fast-forward through the timeshift buffer. For example, if you pause a program and then come across a commercial break that was broadcast while you were away, you can enjoy watching the spots in fast-forward mode. Press the Play button to return to normal speed. Fast-forwarding will stop automatically when you reach the end of the timeshift buffer, and thus the current time. Skip to the beginning of the timeshift Press this button to skip back to the beginning of the timeshift buffer. This will return you to the point where you first interrupted the program. Rewinding a program Use this button to rewind through the timeshift buffer. [. . . ] Please note that timeshift recordings are always made in TS format for technical reasons. The files created by the timeshift function are normally deleted automatically after use to prevent them from unnecessarily taking up hard drive space. If this option is disabled, timeshift files are retained and can be processed further or watched again. Video screenshot/teletext screenshot formats. [. . . ]
