Instant Replay

The SIRIUS Sportster SP5 is capable of storing the audio of the channel that you’re listening to for later playback (up to approximately 44 minutes, depending upon the channel to which you are tuned). As soon as you tune to a channel, the radio automatically begins storing the audio, enabling you to rewind at any time to replay the audio again.

PLAY/PAUSE Button : If you are unable to continue listening to a channel, but don’t want to miss the broadcast, pressing the PLAY/PAUSE button will mute the audio and mark the point in the broadcast so you can use Instant Replay to resume listening at a later time. Pressing and releasing the PLAY/PAUSE button again while the SP5 is muted begins playing the stored audio from the point at which the program was paused. During Instant Replay playback, the SP5 continues to store the channel’s live audio.

Pressing and holding the PLAY/PAUSE button changes the display to a listing of the artist’s names in the stored audio, from the most recent to the oldest, beginning with an entry called LIVE. Pressing the button toggles the display between the artist name list and the song/program title list (see Figure 74). Use the Knob to highlight a song to play and press the Select button to select it. Choosing LIVE exits the Instant Replay mode, and the SP5 resumes playing the live broadcast.
