POWER OFF AND EVENT TIMERS
If the receiver is OFF at the time an Auto-Tune or VCR Event Timer is scheduled to
operate, the receiver will turn ON. Once the event has ended, the receiver will turn OFF,
(unless you pressed any remote control or receiver front panel buttons during the time
that the timer was active).
If the receiver is OFF at the time a Reminder Event Timer is scheduled to operate, the
timer will turn the receiver ON and tune it to the channel you last watched. The receiver
will then display the reminder menu. You will have a few seconds to respond. If you do
not respond to the reminder menu, your receiver will turn OFF.
SETTING UP THE RECEIVER AND VCR TO USE A VCR EVENT TIMER
To use VCR event timers, you must set up the receiver so it can recognize and control
your VCR. First, the remote to control the VCR (see "Programming the Remote to
Control Devices" on page 3-10). Doing this will determine the correct code.
If the receiver does not control your VCR model, use an Auto-Tune Event Timer to tune
the receiver to the channel for the program you want to record. Use the timers built into
the VCR to start and stop the VCR at the required times.
The receiver uses an IR signal to control the VCR. This signal is much stronger than the
signal the remote uses, so it can bounce off walls or other objects on its way to the VCR.
This works in most home setups. However, shelves or smoked glass doors between the
receiver and the VCR may block the signal. Also, if the signal must cross a very large
room, or bounce off curtains, it may not be strong enough to control the VCR. Make
sure that nothing blocks the signal, and that the signal can bounce off relatively nearby,
light-coloured, smooth surfaces.
