Notes on Using
the Timer
After the timer is set, the MESSAGE/TIMER indicator on the front
panel lights, indicating that the timer has been set.
To use the timer to record a PPV program, you must first purchase
it in advance of its showing. See Ordering Pay-Per-View
Programs on page 32.
If locks and limits are set (and the system is locked), check to make
sure they do not conflict with the program youre trying to record.
About 60 seconds before the timer automatically tunes to the
specified channel, a message appears. To cancel the timer setting
and continue watching the current program, press the EXIT button.
If you set overlapping (conflicting) timer settings, the DSS receiver
handles these timer settings as follows:
If you set two timer settings to start at the same time, the timer
setting thats listed first has priority over any other conflicting
timer settings. Conflicting timer settings are automatically
cleared from the Timer Setup screen when the first timer
setting is activated.
If you set a second timer setting to start before the first timer
setting is set to stop, the second timer setting will start before
the first timer setting stops.
