You may not have turned the VCR
ON, inserted a tape, or rewound the
tape. Or, the write-protect tab on the
tape may have been removed.
If you use the receiver back panel RF
or VHF connections in the wiring
setup, you may not have set the
receiver channel 3/4 setting and both
the VCR modulator output and
viewing channel to either 3 or 4.
There may be obstacles between the
receiver and the VCR. If you set up the
VCR Event Timer using the Create
an Event Timer menu, you may
have selected an Auto-Tune,
Reminder, instead of a VCR timer. If
you did select a VCR timer, you may
have selected an inappropriate timer
frequency.
If you set up the VCR Event Timer
using the quick record feature, the
timer was one-time only, and may
have missed another showing of the
program.
Editing an automatic event timer
converts it to a manual event timer.
Such a timer starts and stops at the
times you specify, not the start and
stop times of any specific program.
You may have tried to set a manual
event timer with invalid start or stop
times.
The receiver may not be able to
display a program name for a manual
event timer.
The program may have started a little
earlier than scheduled, or it may have
run over its scheduled ending time.
Make sure the VCR is turned ON, with a tape inserted on which you
want to record, that the tape is rewound, and that the write-protect tab
on the tape is intact.
If you use the RF or VHF 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 any obstacles between the receiver and the VCR.
When you set up 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 proper option in the Timer
Frequency list on this menu.
Remember that you can set up only a Once (one-time only) timer
using the quick record feature.
If you want an automatic event timer to start and stop according to a
specific program, avoid editing that event timer.
Review the rules on start and stop times for manual event timers.
Use the Program Guide or a printed schedule to find the program
name.
Use the Start 1 min. early option to start any event timer one
minute early, except for a pay per view event.
Use a manual event timer to start any event timer at the times you set
yourself, except for a pay per view event.
