When an Event Timer Works
Only
during the five minutes right before an event timer works, you’ll see a
small picture of a clock blinking on the TV screen. This clock goes away
when the program begins. While you see the clock, you can do
either
one of
the following:
•
Press the remote control
CANCEL
button to clear the clock from the
TV screen. This
doesn’t
change the timer; it will still work.
•
Press the remote control
INFO
button to see more information
on the event timer. If you do this, you’ll have these two choices:
•
Select the
OK
option to
continue
with the event
timer, or
•
Select the
Stop Timer
option to stop the event
timer.
Use Quick Record
You can use
Quick Record
to very quickly set a one-time, one-program
DVR
Event Timer
or
VCR Event Timer
.
1. Highlight
but don’t select
a future program in the
Browse Banner
, in
the
Program Guide
or in a
Themes
list.
Note
: If you select a future program, you open a menu where you can
set an automatic event timer. This is almost as fast as
Quick Record
.
2. Press the
RECORD
button.
3. This opens a menu where you can set an event timer.
4. If you want to start the timer one minute early,
select the
Start 1 min. early
option.
Note
: This lets you make sure the timer records a program’s start.
Note
: You can start
any
timer (except one for a pay per view program)
one minute early. But, if you set a timer that works right after another
timer and the second one
starts
early, the first one will
end
early.
5. Select the
DVR
or
VCR
option.
Tip: You can
also press
the
SELECT
button to see
more
information
about the
event timer.
Tip: Quick
Record is the
fastest and
easiest way to
record one
program once.
Just find the
program you
want to record,
press
RECORD
and
then you’re
done. It’s that
simple!
