Special Considerations When Using Event Timers

•For Locked Programs - You must enter the receiver password before you can create an automatic event timer. You can create a manual event timer for a locked program without entering the password. However, if you do this, 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.

•For Pay Per View Programs - 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 event timer operates the receiver may display only an error. If you have set a VCR Event Timer, the VCR will record only that menu.

Event Timer Performance when the Receiver is Off

If the receiver is OFF at the time an Auto-Tune or 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.

Setting Up the Receiver to Control a VCR (TV1 Menu Only)

To use VCR Timers, connect the receiver back panel outputs to the audio/ video inputs on the VCR (see your VCR user’s guide for instructions). Before you can use VCR Timers, you must set up the receiver to control the VCR. If the receiver cannot control the VCR, use an Auto-Tune 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.

The receiver transmits an IR signal from the front panel to control the VCR. This signal is much stronger than the signal the remote uses, so it can bounce off walls or other objects on its way to the VCR. This works in most home setups. However, shelves or smoked glass doors between the receiver front and the VCR may block the signal. Also, if the signal must cross a very large room, or bounce off curtains, it may not be strong enough to control the VCR. Make sure that nothing blocks the signal, and that the signal can bounce off relatively nearby, light-colored, smooth surfaces.

Using Timers

Tip: Remote Control 1 is used to control TV1 menus on the nearby TV. Remote Control 2 is used to control TV2 menus on the remote TV(s).
