Remember, a Once event timer works just one time for one program, at the
program's actual time. A Mon-Fri event timer works Monday through Friday
on the same channel at the same time, not keyed to any program.
A Daily event timer does the same, Monday through Sunday.
A Weekly event timer works once a week on the same channel at the same
time, not keyed to any program.
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.
A Once event timer always works at the program's actual time.
To stop all actions of a repeated event timer, you must delete the event timer.
Note: The receiver deletes a Once event timer right after it works.
• Make sure you turn on the VCR and put a rewound tape in. Make sure
the write-protect tab is on the tape.
• Try another VCR code from the table.
