Using the System
Overlapping Event Timers
If you try to create event timers for overlapping programs, the receiver
displays a menu with the dates and times of both programs. The receiver
also displays this menu if a program time has changed, causing one timer to
overlap another. You must delete or edit one of the timers.
Maximum Number of Event Timers
You cannot create an unlimited number of event timers. If you try to create
too many, the receiver displays a menu giving you the option to delete an
existing timer. If you do not delete an existing timer, you will not be able to
create any new ones.
Editing an Event Timer
• You can edit almost any feature of an event timer.
• You can edit both automatic and manual event timers.
• Editing an automatic event timer converts the timer to a manual event
timer that operates at the times you set, not the actual program times.
1. Press the MENU button.
2. Select the Timers option.
3. The receiver displays the Timers menu.
4. Select the event timer that you want to edit. A check mark appears in
the box next to the event timer. Select the Edit option.
5. You may change the Timer Type , Timer Frequency , or Channel . To do
this, select each option that you want.
Tip: The receiver
deletes the
Frequency: Once
event timers
when they
operate. You must
delete all other
types of event
timers yourself.
Tip: Remember
that editing an
automatic event
timer converts
the timer to a
manual event
timer. This is why
the receiver
displays the Edit
a Manual Event
Timer menu.
