Setting Up Timer Recordings
The Timers feature allows you to set up timer recordings if you have connected the VCR
Controller to your HD receiver and told the receiver what type of VCR you are using. See
the section “Setup and Connections” for details.

which antenna you want to use.
Recording with Timer
If you choose Record instead of Watch when setting the Timer (and have set up your VCR
as discussed in the “Setup and Connections” section), the Timer will turn on your VCR,
then start and stop recording a program.
To record with timers:
• Your VCR must be preset to the DIRECTV output channel (RF, Line, or Video).
• Your VCR must be off at the time the program is to start recording.
• You must insert a recordable tape into the VCR.
Note that when your
timed recording begins,
your HD receiver will
output signals via the
Audio/Video jacks or RF
outputs instead of the
HD MONITOR jack, if
connected.
