•For new timers or for timers you previously scheduled using the Timers screen in the SYSTEM SETUP menu, you can modify the channel number, the start time and date, the end time and date, the frequency, and the mode for the timer (whether it is a program reminder or a recording timer).

•For timers that you scheduled using the on-screen guide, you can only change the mode setting.
