Setting Up Timer Recordings

The Timers feature allows you to set up timer recordings when you
connect the VCR Controller to your digital satellite receiver, and tell the
receiver what type of VCR you are using.

Recording with Timer

If you choose Record instead of Watch when setting the Timer (and have
set up your VCR as previously discussed), the Timer will toggle on your
VCR, then start and stop recording a program.
To record with timers:
• Your VCR must be preset to the DIRECTV System output channel (RF
or Line).
• Your VCR must be OFF at the time the program is to start recording.

Schedule a Timer with the RECORD Button

You can schedule a recording directly from the guide.
1. With a program highlighted, press the RECORD button on the
remote. The Program Details appears on-screen.
2. To schedule a timer to record, select:
• Record Program to set a timer to record the program.
• Buy and Record to purchase the program and set up a timer to
record the program. (Some Buy and Record programs may have a
different purchase price.)
The options available to you may vary according to the type of program
you select.
On-screen icons are an easy way to
understand the timers:
indicates that the timer is set.
indicates that the timer is set for
a PPV.
indicates a timer conflict.

Editing or Canceling a Timer

From the Timers screen, select the Timer
you want to edit or cancel, and then do
the following:
• Use the arrows keys to edit the Timer,
then select Run Timer.
• Select Clear Timer to cancel the timer.
• To watch the program daily or weekly,
edit that program's timer.
