Using the System
Using Timers
Event timers let you set up the receiver to tune to future programs and/or
record them on a VCR (TV1 only). An “event” is a program, sports event,
pay-per-view movie, or anything else on satellite TV.
• You can set an automatic event timer for a program listed with start
and stop times in the
Program Guide
. This can be a program that
comes on each day or each week.
• A manual event timer lets you set custom start and stop times for a
timer.
Note
: If you want to have the
Event Timer
record to a VCR, you
must set up the receiver to control the VCR (see page 57).

• Press the CANCEL button to clear the symbol from the
TV screen. This does not affect the timer; it will operate.
• Press the INFO button to see more information on the
event timer. If you do this, you will have the following
