TIMER MENU
Important:
• The Timer Menu is shown left. The current day and time, as given by the receiver's
clock, is shown beneath the menu title and this will increment as time elapses. If
the clock has not been set, a flashing time will be displayed. You must set the
receiver's clock for the Timer Menu to be effective (see page 21 - Set Clock Menu).
• You use the menu to record satellite programmes in conjunction with your VCR
while you are out. You can record without using this menu, but it that case you
could only record transmissions on one programme number and you would have
to leave your receiver running on that programme while you were out. Using the
Timer Menu you can record several different programmes and leave your receiver
in standby when you go out.
• The clocks in your receiver and your VCR must be set to the same time, and the
start and stop recording times that you set at this Timer Menu must be the same
as those that you set on your VCR.
• If you have connected your VCR using a SCART lead, in order to record from the
receiver you will need to select AUX or AV on the VCR as the programme to record.
When replaying the VCR through the receiver, you will need to switch the receiver
into standby mode or select TV using the TV/SAT key; this method of replaying is,
however, only possible if the TV is also connected using a SCART lead. See also
the Installation section on page 22.
• You cannot record one satellite orogramme while you are watching a different one.
If you are watching a programme, at the start time a flashing clock symbol will
appear at the bottom of the screen and the timer display (as the letter t - see left)
on the receiver's front panel will flash. After one minute the receiver will automati­
cally switch to the programme you have set to record. After the recording has
finished, the receiver will go into standby mode.
• If you press the handset keys while a timerblock is being recorded, they will have
no effect on the receiver (except that you can cancel during a recording - see the
next page).
• To record instantly with your VCR, you can use the Sleep Timerfunction (see page
8 - Setting the Sleep Timer).
• When you first enter the Timer Menu, the timerblock number will be 1, the
programme will be the programme you were viewing and the start time's hours
value will be flashing. The start and stop times will show the time which was on the
receiver's clock when you entered the menu. If the programme has been given a
name, this is shown to the right of the programme number.
• You will not be able to turn on the timer for a particular timerblock unless the start
time is later than the receiver clock's current time and unless the start and stop
times are set to different values. If the stop time is earlier than the start time, the
stop time is assumed to be on the next day.
• If the programme is locked, the message LOCKED will be displayed adjacent to
the programme number. If you want this programme to be recorded, unlock it.
• You can preset up to 8 timerblocks up to 28 days in advance.
• You must specify all the times in terms of a 24-hour clock e.g. 8 pm is 20.00 hours.

When you enter the menu, the start hours value will be flashing. Press the + key or

two hours later than the start time, but you can alter this if you wish by using the + key

key to set the required value.
Press the 5 key then press the + key or - key to go through the weeks and days one
at a time until the correct day is displayed.
The current day is shown as TODAY. Subsequent days are shown by the day of the
week prefixed by 1 ST, 2ND, 3RD or 4TH to show the relevant week.
Press the 6 key and the programme number will flash. Press the + key or- key to set
the required number.
Press the 8 key followed by the + key or- key to turn the timer to ON rather than OFF.

more than one timerblock, do not leave the menu, but continue as described opposite.
