Registering a USB HDD device

This function is available only in limited regions/countries/TV models.

USB HDD recording models have [Recording device setup] in [Settings] — [Channels & Inputs].

Connect and register a USB HDD device to your TV to record digital broadcasts.

Connect the USB HDD device to the TV’s USB port labelled “HDD REC” (if there is a blue USB port, that port supports HDD recording).
