Libraries
The library lets you locate the various recordings present on the DVR hard disc or the different
DVD R/RW discs in your DVD library.
The library groups together the recording names and parameters and lets you look for them
using the search functions.The names of the recordings are distributed according to the nature of
the files and title in four sub-libraries. Each one will let you access functions specific to the nature
of the recordings.The contents of the library are not lost even if the recorder is no longer
connected to the mains supply for a while.
The Library screen lets you access the Video library, the (disc)
library, the Music library, the Picture library and the Copy to disc
and Export to USB functions.
Depending on the recording you are looking for, select the library
and confirm with OK.The screen specific to the library appears.
