ReplayTV 5000
Feature Highlights
• Control live television. Pause, rewind, fast forward, play in slow motion, or watch an instant replay—all without missing a sin-
gle scene. See “Controlling Live Television” on page 30.
• Automatically record every episode of your favorite shows, or constantly find and record shows that interest you. Schedule a
recording once and ReplayTV does the rest. See “Recording Shows” on page 36.
• Jump past commercials or recorded scenes you don’t want to watch with QuickSkip™. See “Using QuickSkip” on page 32.
• Watch your shows commercial free. Use the COMMERCIAL ADVANCE feature to skip commercial messages during play-
back of recorded and delayed shows. See “COMMERCIAL ADVANCE” on page 53.
• Locate shows that you want to watch without searching through pages of program schedules. The Find Shows feature locates
shows based on specific titles, actors, directors, and topics that you choose. See “Find Shows” on page 38.
• Send recordings over the Internet. ReplayTV is broadband enabled, so you can send your recordings to other ReplayTV 4000s/
4500s* and 5000s over the Internet by connecting ReplayTV to your home network. The Ethernet connection is also used to
download Channel Guide information via broadband. It must be connected at all times. See “Sending Recordings to other
ReplayTVs” on page 51.
• Watch shows recorded on other ReplayTVs. If you have more than one ReplayTV, you can watch shows in one room that were
recorded in another. See “Watching Shows Recorded on other ReplayTVs” on page 49.
• Transfer digital photos from your PC to your ReplayTV to create and view slide shows of your vacation or other photo collec-
tions. Additionally, you can display your photos when you press Pause or when the screen saver starts. See “Screen Saver and
Pause Screen” on page 54.
• COMMERCIAL ADVANCE lets you decide whether or not to
watch commercial messages during playback of a recorded tele-
vision broadcast. If you enable the feature it will skip most com-
mercial messages. You can turn it off or on at any time by
pressing the Commercial Advance button.
* Software support for video sharing and streaming between
ReplayTV 5000 models and ReplayTV 4000/4500 models will be
available in the future. Please check “www.sonicblue.com/
