Automatic recording from a satellite tuner

HDD

If you have a satellite tuner or some other kind of set top box connected to the AV2/AUTO START REC (INPUT 1/ DECODER) input, you can have the recorder start and stop recording automatically with the timer settings of the connected component. (If the other component doesn’t have a built-in timer, you’ll need to use it with an

external timer unit.)1

After setting up for Auto Start Recording, this recorder starts recording when it detects a signal from the other component. When the signal ceases, the recorder stops recording.

If you want to use this recorder with the timer features of your satellite tuner, see Language code list on page 108.

•Timer recordings take precedence over Auto Start Recording. Auto Start Recording will stop if a timer recording is due to start. After the timer recording has finished, Auto Start Recording will resume.

1Set the timer for the satellite receiver (or other component), then switch it into standby (if necessary).

Check the manual that came with the receiver if you’re not sure how to do this.

2Check that the ‘Audio In’ settings for ‘External Audio’ and ‘Bilingual Recording’ are as you want them.

See Audio In Settings on page 94 for more on these settings.

3Set up the recorder.

• Use REC MODE (SHIFT + ) to set the recording quality. See Setting the picture quality/recording time on page 39 for detailed information.

4Press HOME MENU and select ‘Timer Recording’, then ‘Auto Start Recording’.

5Select ‘Yes’ to switch Auto Start Recording on, or ‘No’ to switch off.

6Switch the recorder into standby.

The AUTO indicator in the front panel display lights.

The recorder will automatically switch on and start recording when the other component comes on. Recording stops when the external component switches off.

• To cancel Auto Start Recording, press STANDBY/ ON while the recorder is in standby. The AUTO indicator goes off.

•To cancel Auto Start Recording once recording has already started, press REC for three seconds (this cancels Auto Start Recording, but recording continues), then STOP REC to stop recording.

• You can also stop recording by pressing STOP REC then selecting Yes to confirm.

Tip

Important

•It takes a little while for this recorder to switch on and start recording after detecting a signal. Please bear this in mind when setting the timer.

•If Auto Start Recording is set, it will not start if another timer recording is in progress.

•Alternatively, with no OSD displayed, press and hold the front panel STOP REC button for more than three seconds to switch Auto Start Recording on directly. After switching on, switch the recorder into standby (step 6).

Note

1.You can’t set Auto Start Recording when:

–the recorder is recording or in timer recording standby.

–the HDD is not recordable.

–the HDD already contains the maximum number of titles (999).
