Changing Autotune Options/Canceling an Autotune
Once you have scheduled a program to autotune, you can change the autotune options or cancel
the autotune by selecting the program in the Guide or the
To Do List (press LIST); then, select the
Autotune
item in the left menu, and follow the onscreen instructions to change the program’s options
or cancel the Autotune completely.
You can change the following Autotune options:
• For all programs, you can extend Autotune start and stop times (for example, start 1 minute before
the program; stop 5 minutes after the scheduled end of the program).
• For programs with multiple episodes, you can select whether to Autotune first run programs and
repeats or just first runs.
Recording to VCR
To record a program on your VCR, make sure you’ve connected your VCR properly to your
DIRECTV Receiver, then set up your VCR to record at the same time as a scheduled autotune
and you’re set. See your VCR User’s Guide for information on how to set it up for scheduled or
manual recording.
Autotune
An even better way to catch all your favorites
Autotune is a great way to see your favorite programs on your schedule. You won’t miss your favorite
series because it moved to a different day or time, or miss your team’s playoff game because you had to
work late. Just set a program to autotune and your DIRECTV
®
Receiver will tune to it automatically
when it starts.
To schedule a program for autotuning with specific options:
1) Highlight a program that interests you and press INFO.
2) Highlight and select
Autotune
. A screen is displayed where you can set Autotune options for that
program. Follow the onscreen instructions to set the program to autotune as you wish.
3) Select the
Set Autotune
button, then
OK
on the confirmation screen.
If a program you select to autotune conflicts with another program, you will be notified of the conflict
at the time and given a choice of which autotune to cancel.
