Press [OK] when a programme you want to watch is highlighted and the reminder icon is displayed against that programme's name.
You can exit the EPG screen in the normal way - pressing [GUIDE], [MENU]. Later, shortly before the programme is due to start, the receiver will display a reminder on the screen over the picture of the channel being viewed.

Note: Reminder events are ignored if any timer event is active at that time.
EVENT TIMER
You can also set a timer to switch the receiver to any channel without your intervention. This is i ntended for maki ng vi deo r ec or dings of programmes when you are out. If a single programme is to be recorded, the receiver can be left switched to the required channel and the timer set on the VCR. However, if two or more programmes on different channels are to be recorded then the receiver's own timer is set as well, to select the required channel when it is needed.
Display the Main Menu by pressing the [MENU] key and highlight and select the Timers line to display the Timer menu screen. Up to five separate timer events can be set and each is displayed in the Timer screen, showing the event number, the channel to be selected, the start time, end time, date and the mode - whether that event is active (and will be acted on) or not.
To set an event, highlight its mode button using the [UP] or [DOWN] keys and press [OK] to display the timer entry window. Here the five settings of channel name, start time, end time, date and frequency mode can be set. You can move freely between each setting using the [UP] and [DOWN] keys. The channel name is set using the [LEFT] or [RIGHT] keys to display the channel which broadcasts the programme to be recorded. The start time, end time and date are each set with the number keys on the remote control in
Hint
If an invalid number for the start or end times or the date is entered, the highest valid number is automatically entered in its place. So, entering 28:30 as the time will automatically change to 23:30, and a date of 15:14:2002 will change to 15:12:2002.
Pressing [MENU] or [OK] returns to the Timer screen with the settings in place in the timer event list. The event mode is automatically set to Active and you can now return to normal viewing (press the [MENU] keys) and at the appointed time the receiver will switch over to the required channel and at the end of the event, switch the receiver to standby.
When the Timer screen is displayed, any event can be set to be Inactive (so it will not occur) or the channel, times and frequency mode altered by highlighting the event's Mode button and pressing [OK] as before.You can exit the Timer screen and return to normal TV viewing by pressing [MENU].
Hint
If you are watching digital terrestrial TV at the time the timer event starts, a message is flashed onto the screen announcing that the receiver is 'Switching to timer channel' so you understand what is happening.
