USING TIMERS

Event timers let you set up the receiver to tune in future programs and/or record them on

a VCR. 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 3-28).

EVENT TIMER TYPES

Reminder - Reminds you that a program is about to start.

Auto-Tune - Reminds you that a program is about to start and tunes the receiver to the

program when it begins.

VCR - Reminds you that a program is about to start, tunes the receiver to the program

when it begins, and starts your VCR.

Note: You can record only the program to which the receiver is tuned. If you open any

menu while recording a program on videotape, the menu also will be recorded. If a

program time changes by more than twenty-four hours, the timer will not operate.

EVENT TIMER FREQUENCY

Once - Applies to a one-time program. If the program time changes, this timer operates

at the new time. The receiver deletes this timer when the timer operates.

Mon.-Fri. - Applies to a program that is scheduled for Monday through Friday on the

same channel at the same time each day.

Daily - Applies to a program that is scheduled for Monday through Sunday on the same

channel at the same time each day.

Weekly - Applies to a program that is scheduled for once a week on the same channel at

the same time on the same day.

BEFORE AN EVENT TIMER OPERATES

Two minutes before an event timer operates, the receiver displays a small clock on the

TV screen. This clock disappears when the program begins. While the clock is

displayed, you may do either one of the following:

• 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 choices:

• Select the OK or Cancel option to continue with the event timer.

• Select the Stop Timer or No option to stop the event timer.
