Chapter 3

Using the System

10.If your VCR did not complete the test, enter another code from the table, and then repeat steps 5 through 8.

11.Once you have found the correct VCR code select the Save option to save the VCR code you entered and return to the Installation and Setup menu.

Note: If the receiver can’t control the VCR, use an Auto-Tune Event Timer to tune the receiver to the channel you want to record. Use the timers built into the VCR to start and stop the VCR at the right times.

LOCKS, BLACKED-OUT PROGRAMS, AND EVENT TIMERS

You must enter the receiver password before you can create an automatic event timer for a locked program, and you must order a pay per view program before you can create a timer for it. You can create a manual event timer for a locked program without entering the password. However, if you do this, or if the program is blacked out in your area, when the event timer operates the receiver may display only an error or password entry menu. If you have set a VCR Event Timer, the VCR will record only that menu.

POWER OFF AND EVENT TIMERS

If the receiver is OFF at the time an Auto-Tuneor VCR Event Timer is scheduled to operate, the receiver will turn ON. Once the event has ended, the receiver will turn OFF, unless you pressed any remote control or receiver front panel buttons during the time that the timer was active.

If the receiver is OFF at the time a Reminder Event Timer is scheduled to operate, the timer will turn the receiver ON and tune it to the channel you last watched. The receiver will then display the reminder menu. You will have a few seconds to respond. If you do not respond to the reminder menu, the receiver will turn OFF.

USING LOCKS

First you set the locks; then you lock the receiver. You must lock the receiver in order to put any locks into effect. If you unlock the receiver, leave the locks unchanged, and then lock the receiver again, the same locks will be in effect as before.

HOW TO SET LOCKS: A TWO STEP PROCESS

1.Create the locks that you want.

2.Lock the receiver.

Once the receiver is locked, anyone who wants to access locked items must enter the password.
