Using Timers and Recordings

When a Timer Starts a Recording

For two minutes before an 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.

When the Receiver is Off

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

•DVR - Remain off but will record the scheduled

•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.

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-View Programs - You must order a Pay-Per-View program when you 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 display only an error.
