4.1. THE TIMERS
The event timers are a kind of alarm clock. An event
timer reminds you when a program or a timed
VCR recording starts. You can set the next timers:
■ VCR timer, to automatically switch over to the
timed program before it really starts. This allows
you to record a program on a video tape (video
recorder);
■ Reserved timer, to automatically switch over to the
timed program before it really starts or when the
receiver is in standby, to switch on the receiver.

the relevant data is already shown in the timer. You
can change the settings as follows:
■ Date, to set the start date for the timer;
■ Start time, to set the start time in hours/minutes;
■ Stop time, to set stop time in hours/minutes;
■ Period, to set the timer once or for every
occurrence;
■ Status, to set (active) or delete (inactive) the timer.
■ Store settings, to program the timer.
Timers are shown in the EPG window as clocks.
In the List-Timers page, it is possible to get a list of the
timers that are set. In this page you also can change or
delete a set timer.
