4.10 Reminders and Timers

4.10.1 Difference Between Reminder and Timer

The aim of the reminder/timer is to remind you that the program you scheduled for viewing is about to start. The main difference between a reminder and a timer is that you set reminders from the Channel Banner or Program Guide. To set a reminder, select one of the future programs of the Channel Banner or Program Guide, and press OK. Then you are prompted to decide whether you want to set a viewing or a recording reminder.

Timers are independent from the broadcast schedule. You will set timers from the Timer Manager. To get access to the Timer Manager, either press the REC button or select the Timer Manager item from the Main Menu. Timer Manager contains all timers and reminders defined so far. It allows you not only to set timers but also to delete or modify selected timers/reminders. You will be asked to enter Timer Manager each time any conflicts between reminders/timers occur. You will find more information on Timer Manager later in this manual.

4.10.2 Viewing and Recording Reminders/Timers

There are two types of reminders/timers: a viewing reminder/timer and a recording reminder/timer. If you have set a reminder/timer, its pop-up appears 1.5 minute before the program starts. If you do not respond to the viewing reminder/timer pop-up, the reminder/timer is canceled. If you do not respond to the recording reminder/timer pop-up, the receiver tunes to the appropriate channel at specified start time.

Viewing Timer Pop-up

Please note that when you set a recording reminder/timer, the recording is protected from being interrupted, which is indicated on the rotary display. If you want to interrupt the recording, press EXIT. This brings up a pop-up informing you how long the recording will last. Then, you will be asked to press OK to interrupt the recording or press EXIT to dismiss the pop-up from the screen.
