Timers and Recordings
Reasons Why Timers are Skipped
If a timer is skipped, the reason is stated on the Timers List.
• Priority—This timer had a lower priority than other events being recorded at the time.
• User—A TV user chose to skip that timer.
• Duplicate event—There is already another timer which is set to record that program.
• Event exists in DVR—The program was already recorded and can be seen now in
the My Recordings list.
• Not a new episode—Used for New Episode timers. Currently, a New Episode is one
that has the current year listed in the associated Program Guide information.
• Incorrect event—For Weekly, Daily, and Monday-Friday timers. If the guide has a
different event listed, then the timer will be skipped. For example, the event timer was
set up as a Daily timer on a Saturday, but the specified program is broadcast only
weekdays, so the timer will be skipped on the weekends.
When a Timer Starts a Recording
For two minutes before a timer starts a recording, the receiver may
display a digital countdown on the TV screen. This symbol
disappears when the program begins. While the symbol is displayed
on your screen, you can do one of the following:
• Press the CANCEL button on your remote control to clear the symbol from the TV
screen. This does not stop the timer from occurring.
• Press the INFO or SELECT button to see more information about the timer. If you do
this, then you have the following choices:
— Select OK to continue with the event timer, as is.
— Select Stop Timer to stop the timer, or skip it one time.
Note: Pressing INFO about a timer event only works one time. Subsequently pressing
INFO results in the current program's information being displayed in the normal way.
When the Receiver is Off
If the receiver is off when a scheduled event timer occurs, the receiver will:
• DVR—Remain off (in standby mode), but will record the event as scheduled.
• Auto—Turn on for the duration of the scheduled event.
• Reminder—Turn on at the scheduled time. After a period of time, if you do nothing,
the receiver will turn itself off (that is, go into standby mode) again.
• Ext.—Turn on for the event duration and tells the connected external device to record.
