Use Event Timers
Page 49
• If y ou use an event timer, you can record only the channel you’ve got
tuned. This means you can’t record one program and watch or record
another “live ” program at the same time.
• If you open a m enu while you record to a VCR, the tape may record the
menu. If you c hange the volume or press the MUTE button, the ta pe
may record the c hange depending on how your VC R is connec ted in
your system.
Note: I f you want to have Event Timer record to a VCR, you must set
up the receiver to c ontrol the VCR. See Control a VCR on page 56.
Note: Even if the systems shows “PVR” instead of “DVR,” it works the
same way.
