Video Edit
Video Edit enables you to edit the television programmes stored on the hard disk.
“Partial delete” enables the user to delete up to eight different sections of a recorded Programme.
“Divide” enables the viewer to separate a single recording into as many as eight separate recordings.
“Combine” enables the user to merge separate recordings together.
• Once you have selected your recorded programme use the […†] keys to select from the 3 possible video
edit functions or exit.
• The original recording used for any editing function is not affected and remains in the recorded programme
list. Thus it is possible to repeat the editing if you change your mind and the same recording can be used for
multiple editing and different forms of editing.
• Live buffering, recording or timer records are not disrupted by editing.
Note. The recorder has an advanced disk management function that avoids extra disk space being used for edited recordings
while the original(s) still remain on the disk. Thus it is possible to make many edited recordings without wasting any disk
space.
