Status Bar

When you press PLAY, PAUSE, FORWARD or BACK, a status bar appears on the lower

part of your screen. In live TV, the status bar represents one hour (notice the white tick

marks every 15 minutes). In recorded programs, the bar shows the program’s length. The

green portion of the bar represents the part of the program saved by the recorder. The

recorder automatically saves up to 30 minutes of live TV. You can rewind and fast

forward through the saved portions of a program.

In live TV, the right edge of the green segment represents the current time. A white

vertical line shows where you are in the saved portion of the program. If the white line is

anywhere back in the green segment, you are behind live TV. When you’re behind live

TV, you can press the ADVANCE button (

) to catch up.

The EXIT button hides the status

bar, guide, channel banner, and

anything else that is not part of the

program.

This is where you
catch up with live TV
and the current time.

This is where you are
now.
