Things to do on the SETUP MENU

Current settings overview

An overview of the current settings can be reviewed without having to access each associated screen.

Scheduler

Your digital satellite receiver is equipped with a SCHEDULER that allows up to 32 events to be programmed. You can use the SCHEDULER feature along with

your VCR to record events in your absence. The SCHEDULER can be used to automatically tune to a program at a specific date and time or at a specific time on a repeating basis.

You may choose to also program your VCR’s timer to achieve unattended recording. If doing so, program the start and end times of the event on your VCR’s scheduler. However, when specifying the channel, use the output channel of your digital satellite receiver. This would be channel 3 or channel 4, depending on the setting of the switch on the rear of the digital satellite receiver.
