The 4W series equipped with two 4K tuners may not be able to record new 4K broadcasts for as long as the recording reserves for 2K broadcasts and 4K broadcasts coexist by upgrading the software and partially removing tuner restrictions. The phenomenon can now be avoided.

Also, the program guide has been improved for all models. The screen frame has been expanded to allow 4 programs per hour to be displayed and the scrolling speed has doubled or more than before.

Supports the industry’s first simultaneous recording of 4K x 3 programs

The 4T series tuner, which is the highest-end series, is equipped with BS4K x 3 in addition to digital ground / BS / CS x 3. It is the first in the industry to support simultaneous recording of 3 4K broadcast programs .

In addition to morning drama and taiga drama broadcasting in 4K, WOWOW began broadcasting in 4K in March 2009. Also, regarding the Tokyo Olympics and Paralympics scheduled for July 2009, it is likely that NHK and Private broadcast stations broadcast in 4K, so it is said that they have decided to support simultaneous recording of 3 broadcast shows in 4K. ..

The 4W series can record up to 3 programs simultaneously, 2 4K broadcast programs and 1 2K broadcast program as before. With the conventional model, when multiple recording reservations were made for 2K streams and 4K streams at the same time, there were cases where 4K streams could not be recorded. By optimizing the tuner that is used from time to time, it is possible to avoid cases where 4K broadcasts cannot be recorded.

In addition, it supports 4K dubbing of 4K streaming programs when dubbing is moved to transfer recorded shows to a new recorder. Besides 4T401 / 301/201 and 4W201 / 101, 4S201 / 101 introduced in another article is the target, and since both dubbing source and dubbing destination must support 4K programs from conventional machine Dubbing is not available in this moment. It is a function that can be used when it is replaced with a new model that supports 4K motion dubbing that will be released in the future.

Quick guide to programs that is more than twice as fast as before

Equipped with “Quick Program Guide” that scrolls the program guide more than twice as fast as before by upgrading the software. In the conventional model, it took 39 seconds to scroll for 8 days, but this time the 5 products took 17 seconds to launch, and now it is possible to find the program you want to record more comfortably.

In addition, the increase in the scrolling speed of the program guide will be compatible with the firmware update in December even for the 4K DIGA (DMR-4W400 / 4W200 / 4S100 / 4W300 / 4W100) currently on sale.

Also, the program guide display area has been expanded to improve visibility. The number of programs shown within the hour frame has been increased from the 2 conventional programs to 4 programs. This makes it easy to check programs that start every 15 minutes and makes recording reservations easier even for E-tele, which has a large number of programs.
