DirecTV ProScan DSS Receiver Setting Up Timer Recordings, Schedule a Timer with the Record Button

THE MENU SYSTEM

Setting Up Timer Recordings

The Timers feature allows you to set up timer recordings if:

•You connect the VCR Controller to your DSS® receiver, and tell the receiver what type of VCR you are using.

•Or, if using a D-VHS VCR, the digital audio/video (DAV) cable is connected.

Recording with Timer

If you choose Record instead of Watch when setting the Timer (and have set up your VCR as previously discussed), the Timer will toggle on your VCR, then start and stop recording a program.

To record with timers:

•Most VCRs must be preset to the DSS® output channel (RF or Line). D-VHS VCRs automatically communicate with the DSS® receiver through the DAV cable.

•Your VCR must be OFF at the time the program is to start recording.

•Digital recordings require a compatible D-VHS or S-VHS cassette tape. Analog recordings can be made on VHS, S-VHS or D-VHS tape.

Schedule a Timer with the RECORD Button

You can schedule a recording directly from the guide.

1.With a program highlighted, press the RECORD button on the remote. The Program Details appears on-screen.

2. To schedule a timer to record, select:

•Record Program to set a timer to record the program

•Buy and Record to purchase the program and set up a timer to record the program. (Some Buy and Record programs may have a different purchase price.)

When recording a PPV program, don’t forget to purchase the program as well as set up the timer. Select Buy and Record to do both.

The options available to you may vary according to the type of program you select.
