Formatting
Before you can pause or record a broadcast, or store apps, you must connect and format a USB Hard Drive. Formatting removes all files from the USB Hard Drive.
Warning
The USB Hard Drive is formatted exclusively for this TV, you cannot use the stored recordings on another TV or PC. Do not copy or change recording files on the USB Hard Drive with any PC application. This will corrupt your recordings. When you format another USB Hard Drive, the content on the former will be lost. A USB Hard Drive installed on your TV will need reformatting for use with a computer.
To format a USB Hard Drive…
- Connect the USB Hard Drive to one of the USB connections on the TV. Do not connect another USB device to the other USB ports when formatting.
- Switch on the USB Hard Drive and the TV.
- Select Recordings if you want to perform Pause TV and Recordings. Follow the instructions on screen.
- All files and data will be removed after formatting.
- When the USB Hard Drive is formatted, leave it connected permanently.
