Setting Up Timer Recordings
The Timers feature allows you to set up timer recordings when
you connect the VCR Controller to your DSS
®
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 DSS
®
output channel (RF or
Line).
• Your VCR must be OFF at the time the program is to start
recording.
When recording a PPV program,
don’t forget to purchase the
program as well as set up the
timer. Select Buy and Record to do
both.
On-screen icons are an easy way
to understand the timers.
