Use Event Timers
• If you use an event timer, you can record only the channel you’ve got
tuned. This means you can’t record one program and watch or record
another at the same time.
• If you open a menu while you record to a VCR, the tape may record the
menu. If you change the volume or press the MUTE button, the tape may
record the change.
Note: If you want to have an Event Timer record to a VCR, you must set up
the receiver to control the VCR. See
Control a VCR on page 56.
Note: Even if the systems show “PVR” instead of “DVR”, the receiver
functions the same way.

Once
Works for a one-time program. If the program time
changes, this timer works at the new time. The receiver
deletes this timer right after the timer works.
Note: A Once timer keys on a program, not a time. So even
if the program comes on late, the timer works for it.
Weekly
Works once a week on the same channel at the same time on
the same day. You can set this timer for a program that comes
on once a week.
Daily
Works on Monday through Sunday on the same channel at
the same time each day. You can set this timer for a program
that comes on
every day.
Mon.-Fri.
Works on Monday through Friday on the same channel at the
same time each day. You can set this timer for a program that
comes on every weekday.
