Setting Up a VCR for VCR Timers
After you have properly set up the receiver to control the VCR during VCR timers, complete the following to set up the VCR to operate when you set a VCR timer.
1.Turn the VCR on. Make sure you keep the VCR on because the receiver cannot turn the VCR on for you.
2.Insert a tape. A blank, rewound tape makes the best recording.
3.If you need to change the VCR settings (tape length or channel), see the instructions that came with your VCR.
Using Themes and Search
The Themes and Search feature of your receiver makes it easy to find programs to watch. This menu allows you to search for programming by themes (movies, sports, etc.) or by key words used in the program information.
Themes
You can list and choose programs by the theme of their contents, for example, just movies or just sports. You can then quickly list programs based on that theme, and choose the program you want.
1.Open the Themes and Search menu by doing one of the following:
•While watching a program, press the LEFT ARROW button.
•Press the MENU button, and then select the Themes option.
2.Select the option for a category.
3.Select the desired program in the program list.
