Overlap Types

There are several types of overlaps: length-of-program, timer and parental control overlaps. Parental control overlaps, resolved by inputting your PIN, are not covered in this section:

This message is seen once, during the VCR timer setup, when the selected program runs longer than a standard VHS tape (more than six hours).

  • Press the SELECT button to continue with timer setup, or
  • Press the EXIT button to exit timer setup.

 

You see this display during timer setup or when resuming a suspended timer if the selected program overlaps an existing active timer. In order to resolve the overlap(s):

  • setting the alarm
    Use the up or down arrow button to highlight programs
  • Use the right or left arrow button to adjust the timers by changing their status to Clear, Suspend or keep Active.
  • Do one of the following:
    • Press the SELECT button to accept (indicating readiness to continue with any change you made), or
    • Press the EXIT button to cancel the new setup attempt without any changes.

 

 


Resolving a Timer Overlap

When you set a timer that overlaps with an existing timer, you have the option of keeping some or all of the overlapping timers. A display indicates your timer selection and the existing, active, overlapping timers.

From this display, you can adjust the existing timers as follows:

  • Active: keeps the existing program timer.
  • Suspend: puts the program timer on hold. It remains on the list, but does not activate unless returned to an active state (resumed).
  • Clear: eliminates the non-PPV timer.
  • Cancel: eliminates a PPV purchase/timer.
