The INSTANT REPLAY button has many uses but one of the most
helpful is to compensate when you fast forward too far. Press INSTANT REPLAY to rewind eight seconds. Press it again if you really missed the mark. (You could rewind through a whole program using only
INSTANT REPLAY!)
WARNING TO PROJECTION TV OWNERS! Be careful about using
the pause feature for long periods of time if you have a projection TV. Most projection TVs are sensitive and “burn in” still images very quickly. If you pause your program for too long, you may permanently damage your screen.
Play with Live TV
Part of the fun of watching live TV and recorded programs with your DIRECTV Digital Satellite Recorder is using the pause, instant replay, and slow motion features. Here’s a list of the things you can do with the special buttons on your remote control:
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.
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: Slows down the speed of the program.
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.
