WHAT IS DVR?
The integrated Digital Video Recorder (DVR) features of your receiver let you watch TV
the way you want. You can pause, reverse, or skip back through a program. Then you can
continue watching TV. Also, you can record and play back programs with full digital audio
and video quality, without a VCR.
For example, if you get a phone call while you are watching a live or pre-recorded
program, you can pause the program, talk on the phone for up to an hour, and then
resume watching the program without missing any of the action.
You can move through a program forward and backward in slow motion or frame-by-frame
using the DVR’s auto-recording features while watching live or recorded programs.
PAUSING A PROGRAM
On some TVs, the presence of fixed images for extended periods of time
may cause them to be permanently imprinted on the screen. Consult your
TV user’s guide for information on whether this is a problem for your TV,
what operating/viewing restrictions apply to avoid this problem, and
associated TV warranty coverage.
For a live program, the on-screen pause timer shows how long you’ve paused the
program. The pause timer shows how far you’re behind the live program. You can pause a
live program for up to one hour. If you think you might be away from the TV for more than
an hour but don’t want to miss any of the program, consider recording the remainder of the
program (see page 56).
