ATTENTION

● Be sure not to turn on the satellite receiver before the programme is executed; otherwise, the recorder will start recording when the satellite receiver's power is turned on.

● If you have connected another appliance other than a satellite receiver to the AV2 IN connector, be sure not to engage the Auto Satellite Prog Rec mode; otherwise, the recorder will start recording when the connected appliance's power is turned on.

● Auto Satellite Prog recording and timer-recording cannot be done at the same time.

This facility allows you to record automatically a satellite programme which is timer-programmed on your external satellite receiver. Connect a satellite receiver to the recorder's AV2 IN connector and programme the timer on the satellite receiver; the recorder starts recording when the signals input from the satellite receiver to the AV2 IN connector, and when there is no input signals the recorder stops recording and the power shuts off.

Before performing the following steps:

●Make sure the satellite receiver is connected to the recorder's AV2 IN connector. (☞ pg. 29)

●Programme the timer on the satellite receiver.

●Insert a cassette with the safety tab in place.
