EVENT TIMER TYPES
Reminder Reminds you that a program is about to start.
Auto-Tune Reminds you that a program is about to start; tunes the receiver
to the program when it begins.
VCR Reminds you that a program is about to start; tunes the receiver to the

Note: Many TV programs and films are copyrighted. In some cases,
copyright law may apply to private, in-home recording.
EVENT TIMER FREQUENCIES
Once Applies to a one-time program. If the program time changes, this timer
operates at the new time. The receiver deletes this timer when the timer
operates.
Mon.-Fri. Applies to a program that is scheduled for Monday through Friday
on the same channel at the same time each day.
Daily Applies to a program that is scheduled for Monday through Sunday on
the same channel at the same time each day.
Weekly Applies to a program that is scheduled for once a week on the same
channel at the same time on the same day.
BEFORE AN EVENT TIMER OPERATES
Only during the five minutes right before an event timer operates, the receiver
displays a small blinking “clock” symbol on the TV screen. This symbol
disappears when the program begins. While the symbol is displayed, you may
do either one of the following.
Either: Press the remote control Cancel button to clear the symbol from
the TV screen. This does not affect the timer; it will operate.
Or: Press the remote control Information button to see more information
on the event timer. If you do this, you will have the following choices:
Select the OK or Cancel option to continue with the event timer.
Select the Stop Timer or No option to stop the event timer.
Note: This stops only this instance of a Mon.-Fri., Daily or Weekly timer.
The timer will operate the next time it is scheduled. To stop all operations
of such a timer, you must delete the timer. For a Reminder Event Timer,
You can record
only the program
to which the
receiver is tuned.
If you open any
menu (including
the Program
Guide) while
recording a
program on
videotape, the
menu also will be
recorded. If you
change the
volume or press
the Mute button,
the volume
change may be
recorded —
depending on how
your TV and VCR
are set up.
If a program time
changes by more
than twenty-four
hours, the timer
will not operate.
