Reasons Why Timers are Skipped

If a timer is skipped, the reason is stated on the Timers List.

•Priority—this timer had a lower priority than other events being recorded at the time.

•User—a user chose to skip that timer.

•Duplicate event—there is already another timer set to record that program.

•Event exists in DVR—the program was already recorded and can be seen in the Daily Schedule list.

•Not a new episode—used for New Episode timers. Currently, a New Episode is one that has the current year listed in the Program Guide information.

•Incorrect event—for Weekly, Daily and Monday-Friday timers. If the guide has a different event listed the timer will be skipped. For example, the timer was set up on a Saturday for Daily, but the program is broadcast only Monday-Friday, so the timer will be skipped on the weekends.

When a Timer Starts a Recording

For two minutes before an timer starts a recording, the receiver may display a digital countdown (timer reminder) on the TV screen. This countdown disappears when the program begins. While the countdown is displayed, you can:

•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 on the timer reminder only works one time. Subsequently pressing INFO results in the current program’s information being displayed.

When the Receiver is Off

If the receiver is off when a timer is scheduled, the receiver will:

•DVR Timer Type—remain off but will record the scheduled event.

•Auto Timer Type—turn on for the event and tune to the correct channel.

•Reminder Timer Type—turn on at the scheduled time. After a period of time, if you do nothing, the receiver will turn off.

•Ext. Timer Type—turn on for the event and commands the connected external device to record. The external device must be connected to the receiver’s RCA-type or S- VIDEO output and must be turned on when the timer starts.
