EVENT TIMERS

Event timers are a kind of alarm clock, reminding you when a program you want to watch is about to start. You may set three types of event timers:

♦ VCR Event Timer	This timer does all of the above, plus it starts the built-in
	VCR recording the event.
♦ Auto-Tune Event Timer	This timer reminds you that the event is about to start,
	and changes the channel to that event when it begins.
♦ Reminder Event Timer	This timer reminds you that the desired event is about to
	start.

Before you can use a VCR Event Timer, you must do the following:

■Insert a rewound tape on which you want to record.

■Use a D-VHS tape if you wish to make a bit stream (D-VHS) recording of a program. Using a regular VHS tape will automatically record the program in the analog VHS mode.

If an event time changes by more than twenty-four hours from the originally scheduled time, the event timer does not execute.

In general, you cannot set an Event Timer for a program on channels 000 through 099. Channel 000 is reserved for input from another auxiliary device. Channels 001 through 099 are reserved for your local broadcast or cable stations. The title, start and end times for programs on these stations are usually not available; this is why the Program Guide displays only the words "Local Programming."

However, suppose you add broadcast channels to the Program Guide, assign these channels to a channel number between 001 and 099, and assign them an ABC, CBS, or NBC network affiliation. The Program Guide then automatically displays "prime time" program information for the networks. In this case, you can set an Event Timer for a program on one of these channels.
