Remote Control Tips

Press the DIRECTV button once to go to DIRECTV Central, or twice to go to the Now Playing List.

LIST brings you directly to the Now Playing List.

Press (FORWARD) and (BACK) up to 3 times for 3 speeds. Press a fourth time, or press PLAY, to resume normal play.

INSTANT REPLAY replays the last 8 seconds of a program.

Press CLEAR to delete a title in a list (like the Now Playing list) or to clear things that aren’t part of the program you’re watching (like the channel banner and status bar).

INFO brings up the channel banner. Press the RIGHT arrow to switch among three versions of the banner, each with a different amount of information.

CHAN UP/DOWN does more than change the channel—it also pages up or down through lists of programs or menu items.

With dual tuner enabled, press LIVE TV or DOWN arrow while watching live TV to switch between the two tuners.

Inserting Batteries in the Remote Control

Hold the remote with the battery door facing you. Place your thumb in the depression of the door and slide the door towards you.

Insert two AA batteries (supplied). Be sure to match the + and - marks on the batteries to the + and - marks in the compartment.

Replace the battery door by sliding it back into the case with the tabs towards the rear of the compartment. You’ll hear a click when it’s securely back in place.

Press GUIDE to see the DIRECTV Advanced Program Guide™, then press INFO (while the guide is visible) to see Guide Options and change the day or time, or show only a category of programs.

RATIO lets you change how the HD DVR displays a picture when the broadcast aspect ratio (screen width and height) does not match your TV’s screen size.

EXIT clears all menus and goes to the last channel or recorded program you were watching. If you press it while you are watching a program, it clears things that aren't part of the program (like the channel banner and status bar).

ADVANCE moves you quickly through saved programming. Press it while you are fast forwarding or rewinding to jump to the next tick mark on the status bar.

When you’re watching “behind” live TV (for example, if you paused live TV and later resumed watching from the paused spot), ADVANCE catches you up to the live broadcast. In a recorded program, press it once to jump to the end of the program, then again to jump to the beginning.

Use ADVANCE to enter a dash (-) for channel numbers that include a dash (for example, off-air high-definition channels).

If you program your remote control (as explained in chapter seven), the TV POWER, VOLUME, MUTE, and TV INPUT buttons can control your TV and A/V equipment.

The SAT/TV Switch sets the remote control to send channel changing signals to either the HD DVR (SAT) or the television (TV). Many of the remote control’s buttons are disabled when this switch is set to TV (for example, SLOW, FAST FORWARD and PAUSE), so if your remote control doesn’t seem to be working, check to make sure this switch is set to SAT.
