Once you have set a program reminder,
when the program is about to begin, the
DIRECTV Receiver will display a message
on your screen 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 Receiver
to communicate with your VCR (for instructions, 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 provides access to screens with which you can
review, modify, or create new program reminders. On model SIR-S75 you can also
review, modify, or create new program recording timers.
The same screens allow you to accomplish all of these tasks. Here’s how:
1
Press the MENU button on your remote control.
The Main menu appears.
2
Use the arrow buttons on your remote control to highlight the Setup menu
item, then press the
button on your remote control.
The Setup menu appears.
