Can it still record with the display closed?

Yes, it is (at least for me) always closed when recording, and I only open the display when I need to look through video for playback.

Yes, closing the display leaves the camera working. It has indicator lights on the exterior that are always on to show what mode the unit is in, so it will still draw attention to itself at night. I cover them up.

I bought it as a gift for my brother and he says it does still record with the display closed.

Not that I'm aware of. Once you turn it on and wait 5-7 seconds, it starts recording.

It can but it's not an ideal interface for recording unless you're running fruityloops or reasons

I believe the recording remains as long as it's not recorded-over on purpose, and the circuitry is in a functional state (i.e not broken or suffering from some sort of failure). As I recall, even removing the battery doesn't wipe out the recording.

Yes, you can record from TV as long as the show you are trying to record is not protected.

If you don't want to record sound while recording video, you have to get into the settings. While the screen is on and on standby press the button on the bottom to access the medu, and navigate from there through the options.

Yes. The unit stores the recordings internally, so you don't need a signal to replay it. The unit will only record if it is receiving a satellite signal though

yes it does show on the recording when you play it back. But it can be off in the playback if you set it up in the off mode in the main menu

Not to record, no. Unless I missed it somewhere. You get a new file whenever you start and stop recording.

Yes you can, all cameras will do that. It is press and forget type of system - you press to record and until you press to stop record or the battery dies the camera will keep recording. You can throw it in the air or lower it into a pit - it will not stop recording.

no...once the unit is full you have to delete items first to record again....that is if the unit works...my unit has already failed and will no longer record. considering the price of the unit I would not waste your money buying this particular unit

No the machine cannot record if it is turned off..but you can lower the volume enough so it can't be heard..hope this helps...

I found that (with you facing the screen) the top left button, if you hold it down for a few seconds it will turn off the screen and keep recording. If you hold it again for a few seconds it will turn the screen back on.

During playback, yes It's a soft botton on the screen. During recording, you simply yse the stop/start recording

I don't believe you can, but I am not 100% sure. It is designed to tape for limited periods of time (up to 2 hours) and not as a monitor.

Yes it can. If the TV is set in "Video mode" and CC is turned on, it will display closed captioning. If you are using HDMI mode, the DVR has closed captioned settings that will display closed captioning independent of the TV's settings.

No. It will come out of standby to record an event but you can't change channel or watch a previous recording while it records. Press info on the remote to hide the "rec 00:00:00" message from the top left corner if you want to watch as it records.
