Using your FOXTEL Personal Digital Recorder

❖

Understanding the Playback Indicator

The Playback Indicator on your FOXTEL PDR’s front panel lights up to 
show you what your FOXTEL PDR is doing. Provided you have ‘Front 
panel indicator’ set to ‘Standard’ (see page 53), the Playback indicator 
works as follows:

Recording Indicator

The recording indicator lights up constantly when your FOXTEL PDR 
is making a recording that will be listed in your Personal Planner.
It 

does not

 light up when you are using Live Pause or Instant Rewind, 

because these recordings are not saved in your Personal Planner.

Play Indicator

The play indicator 

always

 lights up whenever you are watching a 

recorded programme, whether it is a programme from your Personal 
Planner, or a Live Pause or Instant Rewind recording.

Circular Indicator

The circular indicator is used to show 

playback

. It 

does not

 light up 

when your FOXTEL PDR is recording (unless you are watching a 
recorded programme at the same time).

◆

If you press 

pause

, it lights up in a full circle.

◆

If you play a recorded programme from your 

Personal 

Planner

, or if you use 

Instant Rewind

, the indicator spins 

clockwise to show play or fast forward, and spins anti-clockwise 
to show rewind.

◆

When you are using 

Live Pause

, the circular indicator 

does not 

spin at all.

 The reason for this is so that you can distinguish 

between Live Pause and Instant Rewind.

Notes

To distinguish between Playback from your Personal Planner and 
Instant Rewind, press 

play

 to display the on-screen symbol (see 

page 78).
