Standby
You can put your DIRECTV ® DVR in standby mode by selecting Standby from
DIRECTV Central, or by pressing the STANDBY button on the front of your DVR.
• The PWR light on the front of the DVR turns off, and it stops sending a picture to your
TV. If a recording is in progress, the red REC light remains lit.
• If you temporarily turned off Parental Controls, standby mode enables them again.
• The DVR responds to only a few buttons on the remote control.
• The DVR will not tune to previously ordered pay per view programs unless you have
them scheduled to be recorded.
• Programs that are recording or scheduled to record will record in standby mode.
To turn off standby mode, press the DIRECTV button or the LIVE TV button on your
remote control, or on the DVR’s front panel.
If you have an A/V receiver or
switch box that automatically
detects video signals, you can use
standby mode to “turn off” your DVR,
allowing the switch box to detect a new
video signal, such as a DVD player, and
send that picture to your TV.
