USING EVENT TIMERS
Page 4-9
What is Happening
You try to set up an event
timer and the receiver
displays a message noting
that the program is locked.
You try to set up an event
timer and the receiver
displays a message noting
that the program is a pay per
view event.
You try to set up an event
timer, but the receiver
displays an Error message
giving you the option to
delete an event timer that was
set up earlier.
You set up an event timer, but
the receiver does not tune to
the channel of the program,
or does not record the
program.
You set up an event timer for
a program that is repeated
(such as a regularly
scheduled program), but the
timer does not operate for a
showing of the program.
You set up an event timer, but
the timer does not operate at
all.
You set up a Once event
timer, but the timer operates
at a time different from what
you expect.
You stop the operation of an
event timer for one showing
of a program that is repeated
(such as a regularly
scheduled program), but the
timer operates for the next
showing.
You are testing a VCR code
to see if the receiver controls
a VCR.
The VCR does not do the
test.
Possible Reasons Why
You must enter the password
before you can create an event
timer for a locked program.
You must order a pay per view
event before you can create an
event timer for it.
You already have set up the
maximum number of event
timers.
You may have set up a Reminder
Event Timer but what you should
have set up is an Auto-Tune Event
Timer, or a VCR Event Timer.
You may have set up a timer with
an incorrect frequency.
The program time may have
changed so that the event timer
overlapped another event timer.
The program time may have
changed by more than twenty-
four hours.
The program time changed.
Stopping the event timer applies
only to the current showing of the
program.
The VCR may not be turned ON,
there may not be a tape inserted,
the tape may not be rewound, or
the write-protect tab on the tape
may have been removed.
The code you are testing may not
be valid for the VCR.
What to Do
To be able to set up an event timer for the
program, first enter the password.
To be able to set up an event timer for the event,
first order it.
To be able to set up a new event timer, delete
one of the event timers you set up earlier.
Remember that a Reminder Event Timer just
reminds you that the program is about to start.
An Auto-Tune Event Timer reminds you and
tunes the receiver to the channel of the program.
A VCR Event Timer reminds you, tunes the
receiver, and starts the VCR.
Remember that a Once event timer operates just
one time. A Mon-Fri. event timer operates
Monday through Friday on the same channel at
the same time. A Daily event timer does the
same, Monday through Sunday. A Weekly event
timer operates once a week on the same channel
at the same time.
If the receiver is ON and finds and event timer
overlap, it will display the Event Timer
Scheduling Conflict menu. You must edit or
delete one of the overlapping event timers.
No event timer will operate if the program time
changes by more than twenty-four hours.
A Once event timer always operates at the actual
time of the program.
To stop all operations of a repeated event timer,
you must delete the event timer.
Note: The receiver deletes a Once event timer
when it operates.
Make sure the VCR is turned ON, with a blank
tape inserted on which you want to record, that
the tape is rewound, and that the write-protect
tab on the tape is intact.
Try another VCR code from the table.
