IS
DVR?
The Digital Video Recorder (DVR) features let you watch TV the way you want. You can
pause, reverse, or skip back through a program. Then you can continue watching TV.
Also, you can record and play back programs with full digital audio and video quality,
without a VCR.
For example, if you get a phone call while you are watching a live or pre-recorded
program, you can pause the program, talk on the phone for an hour, restart the program,
and not miss any of the action.
You can move through a program forward and backward in slow motion or frame-by-frame
while using the DVR’s auto recording features while watching live or recorded programs.

ROGRAM
On some TVs, the presence of fixed images for extended periods of time may
cause them to be permanently imprinted on the screen. Consult your
TV user’s guide for information on whether this is a problem for your TV, what
operating/viewing restrictions apply to avoid this problem, and associated TV
warranty coverage.
For a live program, the on-screen pause timer shows how long you’ve paused the
program. You can pause up to one hour for a live program. If you think you might be away
from the TV for more than an hour but don’t want to miss any of the program, consider
recording the program (see page 48).
