Part of the fun of watching live TV and recorded programs with your DIRECTV



 DVR is 

using the pause, instant replay, and slow motion features. Here’s a list of the things you 
can do with the special buttons on your remote control:

Record: Records a program. You can press RECORD when you are watching a 
program in live TV, or when a program title is highlighted on the guide.

Play: Shows programs at normal speed. The status bar appears for five seconds.

Pause: Freezes the picture. To resume, press PLAY, or press PAUSE again.

Frame-by-Frame: To move frame-by-frame: first press the PAUSE button. Then 
press either the BACK or  FORWARD button. For continuous frame-by-frame 
back or forward, hold down the BACK or  FORWARD button. 

Back: Plays the program in reverse. Press BACK once, twice, or three times to go 
backward fast, faster, or fastest.

Forward: Plays the program in fast forward. As with reverse, pressing the 
FORWARD button repeatedly cycles through three speeds of fast forward.

Slow: Slows down the speed of the program.

Instant Replay: Instantly plays the last eight seconds of the program again.

Advance: (a) If you are watching live TV, catches up to the current time. (b) When 
you are fast forwarding in a recorded program, instantly jumps ahead to the next 
tick mark (short white line on the status bar). When you are rewinding, jumps back 
to the previous tick mark. (c) If you are watching a recorded program, jumps to the 
end of the recording. Press again to jump to the beginning of the recording.
