If you have an A/V receiver or switch box that automatically
detects video signals, you can use standby mode to “turn off” your HD DVR, allowing the switch box to detect a new video signal, such as a DVD player, and send that picture to your TV.
Standby
You can put your DIRECTV® HD DVR in standby mode by selecting Standby from DIRECTV Central, or by pressing the STANDBY button on the front of your HD DVR.
•The PWR light on the front of the HD DVR turns off, and it stops sending a picture to your TV. If a recording is in progress, the red REC light remains lit.
•If you temporarily turned off Parental Controls, standby mode enables them again.
•The HD DVR responds to only a few buttons on the remote control.
•The HD DVR will not tune to previously ordered pay per view programs unless you have them scheduled to be recorded.
•Programs that are recording or scheduled to record will record in standby mode.
To turn off standby mode, press the DIRECTV button or the LIVE TV button on your remote control, or on the HD DVR’s front panel.
