EVENT TIMERS
You set an event
timer for a program
that comes on each
day or each week,
but the timer is
either recording the
wrong program or
sometimes misses
the program.
• Maybe you set the timer with the wrong
frequency.
• Maybe the network changed the
program time.
Remember, a Once event timer works just one time for one program, at the
program’s actual time. A Mon-Fri event timer works Monday through Friday
on the same channel at the same time, not keyed to any program.
A Daily event timer does the same, Monday through Sunday.
A Weekly event timer works once a week on the same channel at the same
time, not keyed to any program.
You set an event
timer, but the timer
doesn’t work at all.
Maybe the program time changed so the
event timer overlapped another event timer.
If the receiver is on and finds an event timer overlap, it displays the
Event Timer Scheduling Conflict menu. You must edit or delete
one of the overlapping event timers.
You set a Once
event timer, but the
timer doesn’t work
at the time you
expect.
The program time changed. A Once event timer always works at the program’s actual time.
You stop an
event timer for one
showing of a
program that comes
on each day or each
week, but the timer
works for the next
showing.
When you stop a repeated event timer,
this applies only to the timer’s action right
then.
To stop all actions of a repeated event timer, you must delete the event timer.
Note: The receiver deletes a Once event timer right after it works.
You test a VCR code
to see if the receiver
controls a VCR. The
VCR doesn’t do the
test.
• Maybe you didn’t turn on the VCR,
maybe you didn’t put a tape in, maybe
you didn’t rewind the tape, or maybe
you took the write-protect tab off the
tape.
• Maybe the code you’re testing doesn’t
work for the VCR.
• Make sure you turn on the VCR and put a rewound tape in. Make sure
the write-protect tab is on the tape.
• Try another VCR code from the table.
