Event timer
You can also set a timer to switch the receiver to any channel without your
intervention.
This is intended for making video recordings of programmes when you are out. If
a single programme is to be recorded, the receiver can be left switched to the
required channel and the timer set on the VCR. However, if two or more
programmes on different channels are to be recorded then the GDB8 receiver's
own timer is set as well, to select the required channel when it is needed.
To set an event, highlight its mode button using the UP or DOWN keys and press
SELECT to display the timer entry window. Here the five settings of channel
name, start time, end time date and frequency mode can be set. You can move
freely between each setting using the UP and DOWN keys. The channel name is
set using the LEFT or RIGHT keys to display the channel which broadcasts the
programme to be recorded. The start time end time and date are each set with
the numerical keys on the remote control in 24-hour format. The frequency mode
determines how often the receiver operates this event and is set with the LEFT
or RIGHT keys to be either Once, Daily, or Weekly.
Display the main menu by pressing the MENU key and highlight and select the
timer's line to display the timer menu screen. Up to five separate timer events
can be set and each is displayed in the timer screen, showing the event number,
the channel to be selected, the start time, end time, date and the mode whether
that event is active (and will be acted on) or not.
