What Is Happening
You set up an event timer, but
the receiver does not tune to
the channel of the program,
or does not record the
program.
You set up an event timer for
a program that is repeated
(such as a regularly
scheduled program), but the
timer does not operate for a
showing of the program.
You set up an event timer, but
the timer does not operate at
all.
You set up a Vu Pass Timer
and you notice that you have
no space left on your PVR
Event List.
You stop the operation of an
event timer for one showing
of a program that is repeated
(such as a regularly
scheduled program), but the

showing.
You edit an automatic event
timer. The timer does not
start or does not end
according to the program for
which you set the timer.
You try to set up a manual
displays an Error message.
The receiver does not display
the program name for a
manual event timer.
You set an event timer.
The event timer misses the
beginning or the end of a

Possible Reason
• You may have set up a
Reminder but what you should
have set up is an Auto-Tune or a
PVR timer.
• You may have set up a timer
with an incorrect frequency.
• You may have several timers set
up for the same time and the
event timer you set is at a lower
priority than others
• You may have selected New
Episodes and the timer you set
was for an episode that is not
new.
• The Vu Pass Timer may have
included more matching
programs than what you
expected.
• Stopping the event timer applies
only to the current showing of
the program.
• Editing an automatic event timer
converts it to a manual event
timer. Such a timer starts and
stops at the times you specify,
not the start and stop times of
any specific program.
• You may have tried to set a
manual event timer with invalid
start or stop times.
• The receiver may not be able to
display a program name for a
manual event timer.
• The program may have started a
little earlier than scheduled, or it
may have run over its scheduled
ending time.
What to Do
• Remember that a Reminder just reminds you
that the program is about to start. An Auto-
Tune timer reminds you and tunes the receiver
to the program. A PVR timer reminds you,
tunes the receiver, and starts the hard disk. A
PVR timer can operate only if the receiver
memory has enough space.
• Remember that a Once event timer operates
just one time. A Mon.-Fri. event timer operates
Monday through Friday on the same channel at
the same time. A Daily event timer does the
same, Monday through Sunday. A Weekly
event timer operates once a week on the same
channel at the same time.
• Check the Priorities as described on page 9-2
• Check the Timer Frequency as described on
page 9-2.
• Delete that Vu Pass Timer and begin again. See
page 9-18.
• To stop all operations of a repeated event timer,
you must delete the event timer.
Note: The receiver deletes a Once event timer
when it operates.
• If you want an automatic event timer to start
and stop according to a specific program, avoid
editing that event timer.
• Review the rules on start and stop times for
manual event timers.
• Use the Program Guide or a printed schedule to
find the program name.
• Use the Start 1 min. early option to start any
event timer one minute early, except for a Pay-
Per-View event.
• Use a manual event timer to start any event
timer at the times you set yourself, except for a
Pay-Per-View event.
