Chapter 4: Using the Symbio AVHD recorder Controlling live TV After you connect the Symbio AVHD recorder to your Toshiba integrated HD television, set up the TV Guide On Screen system, and tune the TV to a channel, the Symbio automatically starts recording the tuned program. The Symbio will continue to record content up to 60 minutes behind the live broadcast. This 60-minute recording buffer allows you to pause or reverse any time while watching live TV, and then resume playback from the point you paused or reversed, so you don't miss any portion of the program. Note: • You cannot save programs recorded in the 60-minute recording buffer. To save a recording, see "Recording programs" on page 12. • If the Symbio is paused for more than 60 minutes, it will automatically begin playback 60 minutes behind live TV. • If the Symbio's hard drive is full, you will not be able to pause live TV and the TV will display the message "Error: AVHD is full" (see page 19). If you change the channel or input, the Symbio will stop the buffered recording and begin again on the new channel (if it is tuned to an ANT 1 or ANT 2 program). For additional functions, see "Live TV and Time-Shift Control window remote control functions," at right. Also see "Pausing live TV" on page 18. Using the Time-Shift Control window When you pause live TV, the buffered recording is "time-shifted" and the Time-Shift Control window (illustrated below) opens. This window displays the current playback position of the program in reference to the beginning and end of the live broadcast. Note: • The end point of the recording in the Time-Shift Control window will continue to move as the live TV broadcast is recorded to the buffer. • If the Symbio's hard drive is full, you will not be able to pause live TV and the TV will display the message "Error: AVHD is full" (see page 19). • The Time-Shift Control window closes automatically after 5 minutes of inactivity; or you can press EXIT to close the window immediately. You can fast forward or skip forward in the program until you reach the point of the live broadcast. For additional functions, see "Live TV and Time-Shift Control window remote control functions," at right.
