IMERS
A timer is your instruction telling the receiver the programs you want to view in the future.
If you have an external hard drive connected to the receiver, you have a 9 day Electronic
Program Guide and Event Based Recording. For record timers, you select a specific
program on a specific channel, and tell the receiver how often you want to record that
program. For more information on connecting an external hard drive, see page 68.
Timer Types
Unless you have an external hard drive enabled, there are two types of timers:
• Auto Tune —automatically changes the channel for live viewing of the event.
• Reminder —creates an on-screen reminder when the event is about to air.
Timer Frequency
Deciding how often you want to watch a program will help you make the best choice:
• All Episodes— records each time the selected program airs on that channel.
• New Episodes— records current season programs each time they first occur on that
channel.
• Once —records a program once (good for movies, sporting events, or other one-time
programs).
• Weekly —records a program once a week, at that time, on that channel.
• Daily —records a program once a day, at that time, on that channel.
• Mon-Fri —records a program once a day, Monday through Friday, at the selected
time, on that channel.
