Highlight the program you wish to record or be reminded about, and press the SELECT button.
Pressing the SELECT button once sets a program reminder. Pressing it again sets the program
to be recorded on your VCR.
Once you have set a reminder, when the program is about to begin, the DIRECTV
®
HD
Receiver displays a message reminding you about the program.
To use the program recording feature, you must have correctly connected and positioned the
VCR control cable. You must also set up the DIRECTV
®
HD Receiver to communicate with your
VCR (see the first section of this chapter).
Make sure there is a tape in your VCR and that the VCR is turned off before the start time of
any programs you have set to be recorded.
