Sirius Satellite Radio Starmate 5 manual Sirius Replay Time Position

The portion of the Progress Bar to the right of the Play Position indicator shows how much you can rewind in the SIRIUS Replay memory, while the filled portion to the left of the Play Position Indicator shows how much you can fast-forward in the memory.

While you are in the playback mode, the ST5 continues to store the audio from the channel. Obviously, you will be unable to “catch up” to the live broadcast during playback, as new audio is being stored at the same rate at which you are playing-back the stored audio. You can use the FAST-FORWARDbutton to skip ahead or exit the SIRIUS Replay mode, and begin listening to the live broadcast again.

When the SIRIUS Replay memory is 10 seconds from becoming full you will hear two beeps (if the Confirmation Tone option is enabled, see page 103). When the memory is full, the ST5 will automatically begin to play the SIRIUS Replay memory contents from the beginning, and will continue to store the channel audio, overwriting the oldest portion of the audio previously stored. When the memory is full, you will be unable to rewind through the stored audio.

If you have partially played-back the stored audio, and have paused the radio again, the Play Position indicator will begin to move right when the SIRIUS Replay memory becomes full, as it begins overwriting the oldest portion of the audio previously stored. When the Play Position indicator reaches the rightmost position, indicating that the memory is full, the ST5 will automatically begin to play the SIRIUS Replay memory contents from the beginning.

The SIRIUS Replay Time Position shows the exact amount of time the Play Position indicator is behind the live broadcast, expressed as Hours:Minutes:Seconds, and displayed as a negative number (see Figure 90). For example, if -00:20:03 is displayed, the Play Position indicator is 20 minutes and 3 seconds behind the live broadcast.
