Use the Troubleshooting Tables
You set a VCR
Event Timer , but
the VCR doesn’t
record the
program you want.
• Maybe you didn’t turn on the VCR,
or put a rewound tape in, or maybe
you took the write-protect tab off the
tape.
• If you use the receiver back panel TV
Set Out ports in the wiring setup,
maybe you didn’t set the receiver
channel 3/4 setting and both the VCR
modulator output and viewing
channel to either
3 or 4.
• Maybe something blocks the signal
path between the receiver and the
VCR.
• If you set the VCR Event Timer with
the
Create an Event Timer
menu,
maybe you selected an Auto-Tune ,
Reminder , or DishDVR timer instead
of a VCR timer.
• If you did select a VCR timer, maybe
you selected the wrong timer
frequency.
• If you set the VCR Event Timer with
Quick Record, the timer was one-time
only, and missed another showing of
the program.
• Make sure you turn on the VCR and put a rewound tape in. Make sure
the write-protect tab is on the tape.
• If you use the TV Set Out connections, you must set the receiver channel
3/4 setting and both the VCR modulator output and viewing channel
to either 3 or 4.
• Remove anything that blocks the signal path between the receiver
and the VCR.
• When you set a VCR Event Timer , make sure to select the VCR option
in the
Timer Type
list on the
Create an Event Timer
menu.
Also, make sure to select the right option in the
Timer Frequency
list
on this menu.
• Remember, with
Quick Record
you can set
only
a
Once
(one-time only)
timer.
You edit an
automatic event
timer. The timer
doesn’t start or
doesn’t end with a
program’s start
and stop times.
When you edit an automatic event timer,
you change it to a manual event timer.
A manual timer starts and stops at the
times you set,
not the start and stop times
of any program.
If you want an automatic event timer to start and stop with a program’s start
and stop times, don’t edit the event timer.
You try to set a
manual event
timer. The
receiver displays
an
Error message.
Maybe you tried to set a manual event
timer for a pay per view program or with
start or stop times that don’t work.
Remember, you can’t set a manual event timer for a pay per view program.
Also, you must set the end time after the start time, and at least one minute
later than the start time.
The receiver
doesn’t display the
program name for
a
manual event
timer.
Maybe the receiver can’t display a
program name for a
manual event timer.
Use the Program Guide or a printed list to find the program name.
You set an event
timer. The event
timer misses the
beginning or the
end of a program. Maybe the program started a little earlier
than it was supposed to, or maybe it ran
over the time it was supposed to end. • Use the Start 1 min. early option to start any event timer ( except for a
pay per view event) one minute early.
• Use a manual event timer to start any event timer ( except for a pay
per view event) at the times you set.
