Timers

TIMERS

A timer is your instruction telling the satellite receiver the programs you want to view in the future. For most VCR timers, you select a specific program on a specific channel, and tell the satellite receiver how often you want to record that program. Be sure to set up the receiver to control your VCR (see page 75).

Timer Types

There are three types of timers:

VCR - Records an event on a previously inserted tape for later viewing. Make sure you have your VCR connected and turned on when using this type of timer. Also, be sure to set up the receiver to tell the VCR to start/stop recording.

Auto/Ext. - Automatically changes the channel for live viewing of the event. Use this setting to record to a portable media device. Connect the device to the receiver’s RCA Outputs (see page 12). Be sure to read the guide that came with the device for setup and recording instructions.

Reminder - Creates an on-screen reminder when the event is about to air.

Timer Frequency

Deciding how often you want to watch a program will help you make the best choice:

Once - Records a program once (good for movies, sporting events, etc.).

Weekly - Records a program once a week, at that time, on that channel.

Daily - Records a program once a day, at that time, on that channel.

Monday-Friday- Records a program once a day, Monday through Friday, at the selected time, on that channel.
