When an Event Timer Wor ks
Only during the five minutes right before an event timer works, you’ ll see a
small picture of a clock blinking on the TV sc reen. This clock goes a way
when the progra m begins. While you see the clock, you can do either one of
the following:
• Press the remote control CANCEL button to clea r the clock from the
TV screen. This doesn’t change the timer; it will still work.
• Press the remote control INFO button to see more information
on the event tim er. If you do this, you’ll have these two choice s:
• Select the
OK option to c ontinue with the event
