Timers
The Timers menu lets you preset your digital receiver to automatically
tune to a particular channel at a predetermined time. If you have a VCR
controller connected to the digital receiver and your VCR, you may also
record a program at a predetermined time. Select Timers from the Main
menu to bring up the Timers menu.
Set Timers to record a program.
Setting a Timer
Select a Timer (1-8) and use the arrow buttons to complete the on-
screen sentence. If you set the Timer to Record, your VCR will record the
program when it airs. (The VCR Controller must be affixed to the VCR
remote sensor and connected to the Remote Out jack on the back of the
receiver.) If you set the Timer to Watch, the receiver will automatically
tune to the program when it airs. You can switch between Record and
Watch by pressing SELECT•MENU.
You can cancel or edit a Timer from the Timer menu. Select the Timer
you want to edit or cancel. Use the arrow keys to edit the Timer and
select OK, or select Clear to cancel the Timer.
One-Step Recording

remote control. The program information (channel, day and time) is
stored in the first available Timer.
Before You Record
1. Make sure there is a tape in your VCR.
2. Make sure the VCR controller is connected and the digital receiver
knows your VCR model. This is done in the Set-up & Test menu. See
page 10-13.
