After that is done now you want to do the following…
Using the “Menu” button arrow down to” Reserve Record/Play “
The top box will display the channel you are going to record from, make sure it is correct.
The second box is “Part” set this to “Record”
Repeat box is next, if you want to do a 1x recording set it to “ Once “
Start Time:
This is where I kept hitting the arrow key and found that is not correct.
to change the am/pm use the “OK” button on your remote and this will toggle between am/pm. now > arrow over to the time.
(be careful as the time always want to change back to AM when you go to the next line so make sure your time is set correctly before moving on)
to get the correct time you want to highlight the time and then enter it using your remote or keyboard numbers. Same with the date
Then set the time duration. Again these are preset so you have several choices to choose from using the > arrow key on the remote.
(I do not know if there is a way to manually enter the duration any other way else except here)
The target on my receiver is HDD
The last line is “Program” this is where you can enter the name of what you are recording.
Now after this is set up arrow down to the Reservation button and hit ok
Another box comes up quickly asking if this is ok (Hit the “OK” on the remote quickly,
and it is now in your reserved list of recordings.
If your going to be out and do not want the receiver on all the time put it in the “Sleep”
mode and your timed recording will go off properly.
If you turn off the receiver it will not record the program. and it clears it out of the reserved list. At least it did it on mine when I powered off the receiver.
Yes I had to do it both ways just to make sure.
While in a timed recording I also found that if you had it in the sleep mode you will not be able to see the picture you are recording on your tv /monitor, while it is recording.

Radar, it was my error, or rather jumping ahead of myself and not practicing what I tell others, ...take your time!
