Tip: You may start

minute early. But if
you set back-to-
back event timers
and the second one
starts early, the first
one will end early.
An event timer
cannot start early
for a pay-per-view
program. If you try
to set a timer for
overlapping events,
you will get an error
message.

Program Guide or
your printed
television guide
to see when the
program(s) starts
and stops before
you go to the Set

Manual Timer
menu.
