When a Timer Starts a Recording
For two minutes before a timer starts a recording, the receiver may
display a digital countdown on the TV screen. This symbol
disappears when the program begins
. While the symbol is displayed,
you may do one of the following:
• Press CANCEL to clear the symbol from the
TV screen. This does not stop the timer
from starting.
• Press INFO or SELECT to see more information on the timer. If yo
u do this, you have
the following choices:
— Select OK to continue with the timer.
— Select Stop Timer to stop the timer.
Note: Pressing INFO about a timer event only works one time. Subseq
uently pressing
INFO results in the current program’s information being disp
layed in the normal way.
When the Receiver is Off
If the receiver is off when a timer is scheduled, the receiver will:
•VCR
- Turn on to record the event. Make sure you have your VCR turned
on and a
tape inserted when using this type of timer.
•Auto - Turn on for the event.
• Reminder
- Turn on at the scheduled time. After a period of time, if you do nothing
,
the receiver will turn OFF.
Special Considerations When Using Timers
• For Locked Programs - You must enter the receiver password be
fore you can create
an automatic timer. You can create a manual timer for a locked prog
ram without
entering the password. However, if you do
this, when the timer operates, the receiver
may display only an error or password entry menu.
• For Pay-Per-View Programs
- You must order a Pay-Per-View program when you
create a timer for it.
• For Blacked Out Programs
- If you set a timer for a program that is blacked out in
your area, when the timer operates th
e receiver may display only an error.
