Do not let small interruptions cause you to miss a moment of your favorite show.  Use the 
pause feature to pause a live or recorded program until you are ready to begin viewing again.

Press the PAUSE button.

Live TV programs are held in pause for up to 30, 60 or 90 minutes, depending on the Live 
TV Pause Time setting (see page 37).  Recorded TV programs are held indefinitely.

Press the PAUSE button again or press the PLAY button to return to normal viewing.

The HD DVR’s Live TV Pause Time feature allows you to set the amount of time of live TV 
programming that will be saved (see “Live TV Pause Time” on page 37).  If the Live TV Pause 
Time is set to 30 minutes, you will be able to view and control up to 30 minutes of 
programming.  The live TV pause time is re-set in the following cases:

a power interruption.
