8 Timer
The timer can manage up to 12 recording sessions. Either a defined
recording date or individual days of the week can be selected.
To program sessions, select "Timer" from the main menu. The overview
shows all dates of the 12 entries. Use the OK key to edit individual
entries. To determine whether a fixed date or fixed weekdays are
programmed in the timer, press the LIST key when in the date line. If a
time before the starting time or identical to the starting time is set as
end time, the recording will continue into the following day.
The correct function of the timer requires the internal clock to be set
correctly. Check the time displayed in the status bar to verify.
To exit the timer settings, press EXIT at any time. If any setting has
been changed or added, press OK to confirm the storing of the changes.
Programming programs from the EPG
Programs from the EPG can be directly copied into a free timer position
by pressing LIST in the overview of the day or in the details window of
the EPG. The timer menu then appears so that the new entry can be
edited manually. Press EXIT twice to exit the settings dialog.
Timer recording — receivers without "HD" option
The timer is used to conveniently record programs on the hard disk (see
page 25) at preset times. The timer function is also available on devices
without optional hard disk. This function is particularly helpful if you
want to be sure not to miss a program on a certain channel. The
receiver will then switch over to the channel as programmed in the
timer.
