Overlapping Timers
OVERLAPPING TIMERS
If you try to create event timers for overlapping programs, the receiver displays a screen
with the dates and times of both programs. The receiver also displays this screen if a
program time has changed, causing one timer to overlap another. You must delete or edit
one of the timers.
ENABLING RECORD LINK
Your receiver has a timer feature called Record Link. This feature sends data (audio,
video, and other commands) to an external device that you can connect to the receiver’s
RCA-type or S-video outputs. This timer type allows the receiver to tell the external device
to start and stop recording, allowing the program to be stored on an external device. To
enable Record Link:
TIPS
• It’s very important to leave the receiver enabled to receive updates. By doing this, the
receiver can have the latest software and Electronic Program Guide information.
Make sure the Updates feature is enabled.
