Using the Control Buttons
Part of the fun of watching programs with your DIRECTV ® HD 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.
To move small steps forward or backward: first press the PAUSE button. Then
press either the FORWARD or BACK button. For very slow motion back or
forward, hold down the BACK or FORWARD button while paused.
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. (d) Use
ADVANCE to enter a dash (-) for channel numbers that include a dash.
When you fast forward too far,
press INSTANT REPLAY to rewind
eight seconds. Press it again if you really
missed the mark.

WARNING TO REAR 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 owner’s manual for more
information.
