360 Elite Setup Guide for PVR Functions

Not my work a c/p but some helpful information


The purpose of this post is to acquaint you with some of the operating features and procedures of the Personal Video Recorder (PVR) of the SV-360 Elite.

This feature is a real jewel. It provides several versatile functions that are really user friendly and enhance the recording process. I recommend a Western Digital HDD My Book. They are available in 250, 500, 750, and 1000GB sizes...the 250 should provide about 100 hours of recordings. They are USB and the Elite has three USB slots (one in front and two in back).

There are Five Menus that get you up and running in the areas you desire:

There are Five Menus that get you up and running in the areas you desire:

1. USB Drives: here you can browse the files of the USB hard drive or thumb drive and manage them by:
- Playback of recorded video files.
- Rename or delete files.
- Make new folder or move files.
- Update the STB with new Firmware or channel list.
(Note the functions at the bottom of the window which are: Drive Menu; Format; Scan Disk; Safe Remove).

A very important procedure that must be stressed is:
you should always do a Save Remove before disconnecting USB drives from the STB. If you disconnect the drives without safe remove...data can be lost or damaged.

2. PVR Settings:
- In the Setup of the PVR you start by:
a. Selecting Time Shift Start for Automatic or Manual operation;

c. Using the Add or OK key, add MP3/JPEG files you want in the play list editor.
d. Press the Menu or Exitkey to save play list in external drives.

- To use the play list that you just made:
a. Go to My Play List folder from the root folder.

2. When the recording starts, the record icon is displayed on the right-upper side.
3. Press the STOP key to stop recording...Duh?

at the same time using the process described in Recording.
Then you will see two record icons on the right-upper side.

During playback, you can use the Rewind key to speed settings of 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64...the higher the number, the faster the speed.
Also, you can forward the playback by using the Fast Forward key in the same manner as above.

Slow
Use the Slow key to watch playback in slow speed

Bookmarks and Repeat
-To watch the AV file from the scene that you want, you can point the spot using the Bookmark
key
-You can bookmark a maximum of 20 spots in any one AV file.
-When you want to repeat the AV file from the bookmark spot, press the Jump key.
-You can also playback the part of an AV file repeatedly as you mark.
-When the AV file is played back, you can mark 2 points using the Repeat key.

Time Shift
-Here is what makes it all worth while
- You may pause, rewind and go fast forward on the live program with Time Shift function.
- This is accomplished by buffering the program you are watching to the external USB drive.
- So , When you record two programs at a time, time-shift will be disabled as no more recording
allowed.
- By default, approximately a maximum of 2 hours buffering is supported.

- Two Modes start time-shift...Automatic and Manual
-- In automatic mode time-shift starts to buffer programs automatically whenever you turn on
the receiver or change the channel.
-- In manual mode, time-shift starts to buffer the program when you press Time -shift key
(Blue key).
