HDMI 1080p upscales to high definition for sharper pictures
HDMI 1080p upscaling delivers images that are crystal clear. Movies in standard definition can now be enjoyed in true high definition resolution - ensuring more details and more true-to-life pictures. Progressive Scan (represented by "p" in "1080p") eliminates the line structure prevalent on TV screens, again ensuring relentlessly sharp images. To top it off, HDMI makes a direct digital connection that can carry uncompressed digital HD video as well as digital multi-channel audio, without conversions to analogue - delivering perfect picture and sound quality, completely free from noise.
5.1 channel audio recording of TV programmes
Digital 5.1 channel audio recording lets you capture – along with the video – the original sound from digital multi-channel programme sources. These recordings play back in multi-channel only when connected to a 5.1 channel speaker system.
One Touch Pause Live TV freezes the action instantly
Pause Live TV puts you in absolute control. Once the recorder is turned on, a large built-in memory automatically starts recording the programme you are watching -- allowing you to pause, replay or save the programme, any time. If you need to take a break, you can pause your 'live' TV programme with just one touch of a button, and resume watching when it suits you.
FlexTime to watch the beginning while you record the end
With FlexTime you can watch a programme while it’s still being recorded, thanks to the extreme speed of a Hard Disk. You can also watch a different programme from the Hard Disk while it's recording something else.
Progressive Scan component video for optimised image quality
Progressive Scan doubles the vertical resolution of the image resulting in a noticeably sharper picture. Instead of sending a field comprising the odd lines to the screen first, followed by the field with the even lines, it writes both fields at the same time. A full image is created instantaneously, using the maximum resolution. At such a speed, your eye perceives a sharper picture with no line structure.
Integrated Freeview tuner and analogue TV reception
Direct Record on DVD lets you share recordings instantly
