Reviewing and modifying reminders and recording timers

The Timers item in the SYSTEM SETUP menu lets you review, modify, or create new program reminders and program recording timers.

1.Press the MENU button on your remote control.

2.Highlight SYSTEM SETUP and press SELECT (the System Setup menu appears).

3.Highlight Timers and press SELECT (the Timers screen appears—if you've already scheduled reminders or recording timers, they'll be listed here).

4.To review your previously scheduled program reminders and recording timers, look through this list.

5.To modify or check the details for any previously scheduled timers, highlight that timer from the list and press SELECT. To schedule a new program reminder or recording timer, highlight a blank line from the list and press SELECT (the Timer # screen appears).

6.Highlight the option you wish to change.

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.

Once you have highlighted the option you wish to modify, use the up- or down-arrow buttons on your remote control to edit the option setting. Use the left- and right-arrow buttons to highlight different options.

To delete the selected timer, use the right-arrow button on your remote control to highlight Clear and press SELECT.

7.When you have finished reviewing or modifying the timer, use the right- arrow button on your remote control to highlight Back and press SELECT. The Edit Timer screen disappears, and you return to the Timers screen.

8.To return to the System Setup menu, highlight Back and press SELECT. To exit the menu system and return to TV viewing, press the EXIT button on your remote.
