Using the Control Buttons
Part of the fun of watching programs with your DIRECTV ® DVR is using the pause,
instant replay, and slow motion features. Here’s an overview of the control buttons:
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. You
can pause live TV for 30 minutes. You can pause a recorded program indefinitely.
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.
Plays the program in slow motion.
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.
When you fast forward too far,
press INSTANT REPLAY to rewind
eight seconds. Press it again if you really
missed the mark.

WARNING TO PROJECTION AND
PLASMA TV OWNERS! Be careful
about using the pause feature for long
periods of time if you have a projection or
plasma TV. Most projection and plasma
TVs are sensitive and “burn in” still
images very quickly. If you pause your
program for too long, you may
permanently damage your screen. See
your TV’s owners manual for more
information.
