Creating an Automatic Timer

Special Considerations When Using Timers

•For Locked Programs—you must enter the receiver password before you can create an automatic timer. You can create a manual timer for a locked program without entering the password. However, if you do this, when the timer operates the receiver may display only an error or password entry menu.

•For Pay-Per-ViewPrograms—you must order a Pay-Per-View program before you can create a timer for it.

•For Blacked Out Programs—if you set a timer for a program that is blacked out in your area, when the timer operates the receiver may only display an error.
