Using Timers
Deleting an Event Timer
1. Press the MENU button.
2. Select the Timers option. The receiver displays the Timers menu.
3. Select an event timer(s) that you want to delete. A check mark appears
in the box next to the event timer(s).
4. Move the highlight to Delete and press SELECT on the remote.
Special Considerations When Using Event Timers
• For Locked Programs - You must enter the receiver password before
you can create an automatic event timer. You can create a manual event
timer for a locked program without entering the password. However, if
you do this, when the event timer operates the receiver may display
only an error or password entry menu. If you have set a VCR Event
Timer, the VCR will record only that menu.
• For Pay Per View Programs - You must order a pay per view program
before you can create a timer for it.
• For Blacked Out Programs - If you set a timer for a program that is
blacked out in your area, when the event timer operates the receiver
may display only an error. If you have set a
VCR Event Timer , the VCR
will record only that menu.
Event Timer Performance when the Receiver is Off
If the receiver is OFF at the time an Auto-Tune or VCR Event Timer is
scheduled to operate, the receiver will turn ON. Once the event has ended,
the receiver will turn OFF, unless you pressed any remote control or
receiver front panel buttons during the time that the timer was active.
If the receiver is OFF at the time a Reminder Event Timer is scheduled to
operate, the timer will turn the receiver ON and tune it to the channel you
last watched. The receiver will then display the reminder menu. You will
have a few seconds to respond. If you do not respond to the reminder menu,
the receiver will turn OFF.
Setting Up the Receiver to Control a VCR (TV1 Menu Only)
To use VCR Timers, connect the receiver back panel outputs to the audio/
video inputs on the VCR (see your VCR user’s guide for instructions).
Before you can use VCR Timers, you must set up the receiver to control the
VCR. If the receiver cannot control the VCR, use an Auto-Tune Timer to
tune the receiver to the channel you want to record. Use the timers built into
the VCR to start and stop the VCR at the right times.
The receiver transmits an IR signal from the front panel to control the VCR.
This signal is much stronger than the signal the remote uses, so it can
bounce off walls or other objects on its way to the VCR. This works in most
home setups. However, shelves or smoked glass doors between the receiver
front and the VCR may block the signal. Also, if the signal must cross a
very large room, or bounce off curtains, it may not be strong enough to
control the VCR. Make sure that nothing blocks the signal, and that the
signal can bounce off relatively nearby, light-colored, smooth surfaces.
Tip: Remote
Control 1 is used to
control TV1 menus
on the nearby TV.
Remote Control 2
is used to control
TV2 menus on the
remote TV(s).
