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.
Chapter 4: Using the Symbio AVHD recorder
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.

functions, see “Live
