Chapter 5: Program reminders and recording timers
This chapter tells you how to use your DIRECTV HD Receiver to set timers that can remind
you when a program is about to begin, and record a program for you on your VCR.
The sections of this chapter include:
Setting up the VCR control
Scheduling program reminders and recording timers
Reviewing and modifying reminders and recording timers
Setting up the VCR control
Your DIRECTV ® HD Receiver can use the supplied VCR control cable to automatically
program your VCR to record programs for you. (Instructions on setting recording timers
appear later in this chapter).
Before your DIRECTV ® HD Receiver can program your VCR, you must have correctly
connected and aligned the VCR control cable (see Connecting the VCR control cable in
Chapter 3), and you must tell your DIRECTV
® HD Receiver what kind of VCR you have.
Here’s how:
1 Press the MENU button on your remote control.
2
Highlight the SETUP menu item, then press the SELECT button.
3 Highlight the Installation menu item, then press the SELECT button.
4 Highlight the VCR Setup menu item, then press the SELECT button.
The VCR Setup screen appears.
5
Highlight the manufacturer of your VCR from
the list on the left side of the screen.
