Chapter 3
Using the System
Tip: The receiver deletes the Frequency: Once event timers when they operate. You must delete all other types of event timers yourself.
Tip: Remember that editing an automatic event timer converts the timer to a manual event timer. This is why the receiver displays the Edit a Manual Event Timer menu.
Overlapping Event Timers
If you try to create event timers for overlapping programs, the receiver displays a menu with the dates and times of both programs. The receiver also displays this menu if a program time has changed, causing one timer to overlap another. You must delete or edit one of the timers.
Maximum Number of Event Timers
You cannot create an unlimited number of event timers. If you try to create too many, the receiver displays a menu giving you the option to delete an existing timer. If you do not delete an existing timer, you will not be able to create any new ones.
Editing an Event Timer
