When a Timer Starts a Recording
For two minutes before a timer starts a recording, the receiver may display a digital countdown on the TV screen. This symbol disappears when the program begins. While the symbol is displayed, you may do one of the following:
•Press CANCEL to clear the symbol from the TV screen. This does not stop the timer from starting.
•Press INFO or SELECT to see more information on the timer. If you do this, you have the following choices:
—Select OK to continue with the timer.
—Select Stop Timer to stop the timer.
Note: Pressing INFO about a timer event only works one time. Subsequently pressing INFO results in the current program’s information being displayed in the normal way.

•VCR - Turn on to record the event. Make sure you have your VCR turned on and a tape inserted when using this type of timer.
•Auto - Turn on for the event.
•Reminder - Turn on at the scheduled time. After a period of time, if you do nothing, the receiver will turn OFF.
