Chapter 5: Program reminders and recording timers
2 Highlight the program you wish to record or be reminded about, and press the
OK button.
Pressing the OK button once sets a program reminder. Pressing it again sets the
program to be recorded on your VCR.
Once you have set a reminder, when the program is about to begin, the DIRECTV ®
High-Definition Receiver displays a message reminding you about the program.
To use the program recording feature, you must have correctly connected and
positioned the VCR control cable. You must also set up the DIRECTV HD Receiver to
communicate with your VCR (see the first section of this chapter).
Make sure there is a tape in your VCR and that the VCR is turned off before the
start time of any programs you have set to be recorded.
Reviewing and modifying reminders and
recording timers
The Timers item in the SETUP menu allows you to review, modify, or create new program
reminders and program recording timers.
Here’s how:
1 Press the MENU button on your remote control.
2 Highlight the Setup menu item, then press the OK button.
The Setup menu appears.
3 Highlight the Timers menu item, then press the OK button.
A clock icon is added to the
program listing when a program
reminder is scheduled. A videotape icon replaces the clock
icon when a recording timer has
been scheduled.
