32 EN

This facility allows you record automatically a satellite programme

which is timer-programmed on your external satellite tuner.

Connect a satellite tuner to the recorder's AV2 IN/DECODER

connector (Z pg. 44, 45) and programme the timer on the

satellite tuner; the recorder starts recording when the signals input

from the satellite tuner to the AV2 IN/DECODER connector, and

when there is no input signals the recorder stops recording and the

power shuts off.

ATTENTION

●Be sure not to turn on the satellite tuner before the

recording when the satellite tuner's power is turned on.

●If you have connected another appliance other than a

satellite tuner to the AV2 IN/DECODER 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.

Before performing the following steps:

NOTES:

●

Auto Satellite Prog recording is possible with the AV2 IN/DECODER connector only. (

pg. 44, 45)

●

For timer programming of the satellite tuner, refer to the instruction manual of the satellite tuner.

●

Auto Satellite Prog recording is not possible if your satellite tuner does not have a timer.

●

The button's light blinks while Auto Satellite Prog recording is in progress.

●

Pressing the recorder's button while Auto Satellite Prog recording is in progress turns off the recorder's power and disengage

the Auto Satellite Prog Rec mode.

●

If there are more than one satellite programme you wish to record with Auto Satellite Prog Recording, it is not possible to set the

different tape speed per each; the tape speed selected in step 2 will be applicable to all the programmes for Auto Satellite Prog

recording.

●

The B.E.S.T. system (

pg. 24) does not work while Auto Satellite Prog recording is in progress.

●

Just Clock (

pg. 56) does not work when the Auto Satellite Prog Rec mode is engaged.

●

Depending on the type of satellite tuner, the recorder may not record a slight portion of the beginning of the programme or may record

slightly longer than the actual length of the programme.

●

If you engage the Auto Satellite Prog Recording mode when the satellite tuner's power is on, the recorder will not start Auto

Satellite Prog recording even though the button's light blinks. When the satellite tuner shuts off once and is turned back on again,

the recorder starts recording.

●

When the Auto Satellite Prog Rec mode is engaged or the recorder's power is turned off after Auto Satellite Prog recording is

finished, the recorder will not enter the Timer mode even though "AUTO TIMER" is set to "ON".

●

After Auto Satellite Programme recording, the number of recorded programmes will not be displayed on the front display panel for

the Instant ReView function (

pg. 17).

●

You can also record a programme from your cable system in the same way if the system has a timer.

●

When you press and hold the recorder's REC LINK button to engage the Auto Satellite Prog Rec mode, if the button does not light

but instead blinks quickly even though your satellite tuner's power is off, Auto Satellite Prog Recording will not work properly with

that satellite tuner*.

If this is the case, perform "Express Timer Programming" (

pg. 28) to timer-record a satellite programme.

*Some satellite tuners output signals even if the power is off. Auto Satellite Prog Recording is not possible with those satellite tuners.
