Using the System
• For All Blacked-Out Programs—If you set a timer for a program or event
that is blacked out in your area, when this timer operates the receiver may
display only an error or password-entry screen. If you have set an
Ext Event
Timer
, the device will record this screen and not the blacked-out event.
Event Timer Performance when the Receiver is Off
If the receiver is OFF (in standby mode) at the time an Auto-Tune or DVR
Event Timer is scheduled to operate, then the receiver will turn itself ON.
Watching One Program While Recording Another
*
Using Both Tuners to Record
If your existing system installation supports dual-tuner enabled features of the
receiver, then you can set up your receiver to record one or even two programs
while you are watching one that you have previously recorded.
1. Press GUIDE to open the
Program Guide. Find a channel with
a program or event that you want to watch now.
2. Press SELECT to tune to that channel and watch the program.
3. Press the RECORD button on your remote control. A message
will be displayed asking whether you want to record the
remainder of the program. Select
OK to begin recording it now.
4. Press GUIDE on the remote. Use the
Program Guide to find another
program or event that you want to watch now. Select that program. You are
now watching one program while recording another one at the same time.
