• If you use an even t timer, yo u can record only the channel you’ve got
tuned. This means you can’t re cord one program and watch or record
another “live ” progra m at the same time.
• If you open a menu while you r ecord to a VC R, the tape may record the
menu. If you change the volume or press the MUTE button, the tape
may record the change depending on how your VC R is connecte d in
your system.
Note: If you want to have Event Timer record to a VCR, you must set
up the receive r to c ontrol the VCR. See C ontrol a VCR on page 56.
Note: Even if the systems shows “ PVR” instead of “DVR,” it works the
same way.
