set an automatic event timer for a locked program. You can set a manual event
timer for a locked program and not enter the password. But if you do this,
when the timer works the receiver may display only an error message or a
password entry menu. If you've set a DVR Event Timer or a VCR Event
Timer, the recording will show only the error message or password menu.
• If you use a DVR Event Timer to record a locked program, you must enter the
password to play back the program. If you record a block of two or more
programs and just one of them is locked, you must enter the password to play
back any of them. For example, if you set an event timer to record a block of
three programs and one of them is an adult movie, you must enter the
password to watch any of the three programs.

Power Off and Event Timers

• If the receiver is off when a DVR Event Timer, Auto-Tune Event Timer, or VCR
Event Timer works, the receiver will turn on. When the program ends, the
receiver will turn off unless you press any remote control or front panel
buttons while the timer works.
• If the receiver is off when a Reminder Event Timer works, the receiver will
turn on and stay on.
How Many Event Timers You Can Set
You can set a limited number of event timers. If you try to set more, the
receiver displays a menu where you can delete an existing timer. If you don't
delete an existing timer, you won't be able to set any new ones.
