When an Event Timer Works
Only during the five minutes right before an event timer works, you’ll see a small picture of a clock blinking on the TV screen. This clock goes away when the program begins. While you see the clock, you can do either one of the following:

•Press the remote control INFO button to see more information on the event timer. If you do this, you’ll have these two choices:
•Select the OK option to continue with the event timer, or
•Select the Stop Timer option to stop the event timer.

4.If you want to start the timer one minute early, select the Start 1 min. early option.
Note: This lets you make sure the timer records a program’s start.

5.Select the DVR or VCR option.
