Play with Live TV
Part of the fun of watching live TV and recorded programs with your DIRECTV
DVR is
using the pause, instant replay, and slow motion features. Here’s a list of the things you
can do with the special buttons on your remote control:
Record: Records a program. You can press RECORD when you are watching a
program in live TV, or when a program title is highlighted on the guide.
Play: Shows programs at normal speed. The status bar appears for five seconds.
Pause: Freezes the picture. To resume, press PLAY, or press PAUSE again.
Frame-by-Frame: To move frame-by-frame: first press the PAUSE button. Then
press either the BACK or FORWARD button. For continuous frame-by-frame
back or forward, hold down the BACK or FORWARD button.
Back: Plays the program in reverse. Press BACK once, twice, or three times to go
backward fast, faster, or fastest.
Forward: Plays the program in fast forward. As with reverse, pressing the
FORWARD button repeatedly cycles through three speeds of fast forward.
Slow: Slows down the speed of the program.
Instant Replay: Instantly plays the last eight seconds of the program again.
Advance: (a) If you are watching live TV, catches up to the current time. (b) When
you are fast forwarding in a recorded program, instantly jumps ahead to the next
tick mark (short white line on the status bar). When you are rewinding, jumps back
to the previous tick mark. (c) If you are watching a recorded program, jumps to the
end of the recording. Press again to jump to the beginning of the recording.
.
The INSTANT REPLAY button has
many uses but one of the most
helpful is to compensate when you fast
forward too far. Press INSTANT REPLAY to
rewind eight seconds. Press it again if you
really missed the mark. (You could rewind
through a whole program using only
INSTANT REPLAY!)
WARNING TO PROJECTION TV
OWNERS! Be careful about using
the pause feature for long periods of time
if you have a projection TV. Most
projection TVs are sensitive and “burn in”
still images very quickly. If you pause
your program for too long, you may
permanently damage your screen.
