Well, using the travel show is the 'official' way to pause it, but not the only way. Another way to pause it is to go to the screen that shows the time, and then while still on the time screen, hold the 'A' button and press the 'C' button. It should put in 'time set', which also means that your v5 is paused. To 'unpause' it when in 'time set', just set the clock to the right time and go back to the normal screen.
thanks because one time my tamas were asleep and i left it on when i went to school cause i couldnt pause it so when i got back from school they were dead so this should really help
