4.10 Reminders and Timers
4.10.1 Difference Between Reminder and Timer
The aim of the reminder/timer is to remind you that the
program you scheduled for viewing is about to start. The
main difference between a reminder and a timer is that
you set reminders from the Channel Banner or
Program Guide. To set a reminder, select one of the
future programs of the Channel Banner or Program
Guide, and press OK. Then you are prompted to decide
whether you want to set a viewing or a recording
reminder.
Setting a Reminder
Timers are independent from the broadcast schedule.
You will set timers from the Timer Manager. To get
access to the Timer Manager, either press the REC
button or select the Timer Manager item from the
Main Menu. Timer Manager contains all timers and
reminders defined so far. It allows you not only to set
timers but also to delete or modify selected
timers/reminders. You will be asked to enter Timer
Manager each time any conflicts between
reminders/timers occur. You will find more information
on Timer Manager later in this manual.

4.10.2 Viewing and Recording Reminders/Timers
There are two types of reminders/timers: a viewing
reminder/timer and a recording reminder/timer. If
you have set a reminder/timer, its pop-up appears 1.5
minute before the program starts. If you do not respond
to the viewing reminder/timer pop-up, the
reminder/timer is canceled. If you do not respond to the
recording reminder/timer pop-up, the receiver tunes to
the appropriate channel at specified start time.
Viewing Timer Pop-up
Please note that when you set a recording
reminder/timer, the recording is protected from being
interrupted, which is indicated on the rotary display. If
you want to interrupt the recording, press EXIT. This
brings up a pop-up informing you how long the recording
will last. Then, you will be asked to press OK to interrupt
the recording or press EXIT to dismiss the pop-up from
the screen.
