Troubleshooting Tables
What to Do
• If the receiver is on and finds an event timer overlap, it displays
the Event Timer Scheduling Conflict menu. You must edit or
delete one of the overlapping event timers.
• No event timer will operate if the program time changes by more
than twenty-four hours.
• A Once event timer always operates at the actual time of the
program.
• To stop all operations of a repeated event timer, you must delete
the event timer.
Note: The receiver deletes a Once event timer when it operates.
• Make sure the VCR is turned on, with a blank tape inserted on
which you want to record, that the tape is rewound, and that the
write-protect tab on the tape is intact.
• Try another VCR code from the VCR Codes table.
