When a Timer Starts a Recording
For two minutes before an event timer starts a recording, the receiver may
display a digital countdown on the TV screen. This symbol disappears when
the program starts. While the symbol is displayed, you may do one of the
following:
• Press the CANCEL button on the remote control to clear the symbol from the TV screen. This
does not affect the timer, which starts at the specified time.
• Press the INFO or SELECT button to see more information about the timer. When viewing this
information, you have the following choices:
— Select OK to continue with the timer.
— Select Stop Timer to stop this timer.
Note: Pressing the INFO button about an event timer only works the first time. Subsequently
pressing INFO results in the current program’s information being displayed in the normal way.
When the Receiver is Off
If the receiver is off (no green front-panel lights) when a timer is scheduled, the receiver will:
• VCR — Turn on to record the event on TV1. Make sure you have your VCR turned on and a
tape inserted when using this type of timer.
• Auto — Turn on for the event.
• Reminder — Turn on at the scheduled time. After a specified period of time, if you do nothing,
the receiver will turn itself back OFF.
• Ext — Records the event on an external recording device (ERD) connected via USB port.
