1 Sec. Quick Start Recording and Electronic Programme Guide
How many times have you been watching the TV, suddenly thought you needed to record the current scene, pressed the 'REC' button then waited 20 seconds or more for your VHS or DVD Recorder to actually start recording?
Of course, by the time the machine starts recording, the scene has moved on... its a common occurrence for all of us and very frustrating.
Well, not any more. Panasonic’s DIGAs are equipped with a high-speed Quick Start functionality whereby the DVD-RAM discs and Hard Disk Drive are ready to record just one second after switching on the power. Just press the “REC” button and your DIGA will immediately begin recording the on-screen action - meaning you’ll never miss the scenes you want to catch again.
Furthermore, it is not only for recording. If you press the ‘GUIDE’ button when your DIGA is off, the Electronic Programme Guide (EPG) will also display in less than 1 second in Quick Start mode!
