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.
