When viewing the results of a Sort, the following Action buttons appear:
• Watch Press 1 on the remote to place a timer in the Schedule, and then
follow the on-line help for further options. Placing a timer in the Schedule
will cause the TV to turn on and tune to the program highlighted in the
channel listing at the predetermined time.
• Record Press 3 on the remote to set the VCR to record the program
highlighted in the channel listing. If you have a cable box, changing TV
channels will not cause the cable box channel to change while recording.
The program information window will display a confirmation when you have
successfully created a timer to watch or record.
Note: If you have selected two programs to watch or record which begin
at the same time or overlap, you will receive a timer conflict message.
You must choose between the two programs.
Note: Be sure that during the GUIDE Plus+ system setup you specified
that you have a VCR. If you didn’t, the RECORD option will not
be available.
