What You Can Do
• Make sure you turn on the VCR and put a rewound tape in. Make sure
the write-protect tab is on the tape.
• If you use the TV Set Out connections, you must set the receiver channel
3/4 setting and both the VCR modulator output and viewing channel
to either 3 or 4.
• Remove anything that blocks the signal path between the receiver
and the VCR.
• When you set a VCR Event Timer, make sure to select the VCR option
in the Timer Type list on the Create an Event Timer menu.
Also, make sure to select the right option in the Timer Frequency list
on this menu.
• Remember, with Quick Record you can set only a Once (one-time only)
timer.
If you want an automatic event timer to start and stop with a program's start
and stop times, don't edit the event timer.
Remember, you can't set a manual event timer for a pay per view program.
Also, you must set the end time after the start time, and at least one minute
later than the start time.
Use the Program Guide or a printed list to find the program name.
• Use the Start 1 min. early option to start any event timer (except for a
pay per view event) one minute early.
• Use a manual event timer to start any event timer (except for a pay
per view event) at the times you set.
