Page 50 Thursday, 3 June 2004 10:46
This function allows you to automatically record a satellite
programme which is timer-programmed on your external satellite
receiver. Connect a satellite receiver to the unit’s L-2 IN/
DECODER connector and programme the timer on the satellite
receiver. The unit starts or stops recording by the signals input
from the satellite receiver. After recording, the unit’s power shuts
off automatically.

●To disengage the Automatic Satellite Programme Recording mode,
press SAT#.
●If the unit’s power is off, it is not possible to engage the Automatic
Satellite Programme Recording mode.
●In step 4, if “SAT#” blinks quickly on the front display panel even
though your satellite receiver’s power is off, Automatic Satellite
Programme Recording will not work properly with that satellite
receiver*. If this is the case, perform “Manual Timer Programming”
(墌pg. 48) to timer-record a satellite programme.
* Some satellite receivers output signals even if the power is off.

manual of the satellite receiver.

satellite receiver does not have a timer.
●Pressing the unit’s 1 button while Automatic Satellite Programme
Recording is in progress turns off the unit’s power and disengages
the Automatic Satellite Programme Recording mode.
●If there are more than one satellite programmes you wish to record
with Automatic Satellite Programme Recording, it is not possible to
set different recording modes for each programme.
●Depending on the type of satellite receiver, the unit 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 Automatic Satellite Programme Recording mode
when the satellite receiver’s power is on, the unit will not start
Automatic Satellite Programme Recording even though “SAT#”
blinks on the front display panel. When the satellite receiver shuts off
once and is turned back on again, the unit starts recording.
