OPERATIONS ON DVD DECK
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. When the signals come into the unit from the satellite
receiver, the unit automatically turns on and starts recording.
1Press VCR/DVD repeatedly so that the DVD lamp lights up on
the unit.
2Set “L-2 SELECT” to “SAT VIDEO” or “SAT S-VIDEO”.

●Also refer to “IMPORTANT” on page 78.
3Press REC MODE repeatedly to set the recording mode.
4Press and hold SAT# on the unit for about 2 seconds to engage
the Automatic Satellite Programme Recording mode. “SAT#” lights
up on the front display panel and the VCR deck is automatically
selected.

NOTES:
●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. 46) to timer-record a satellite programme.
* Some satellite receivers output signals even if the power is off.
Automatic Satellite Programme Recording is not possible with those
satellite receivers.
●“SAT#” blinks on the front display panel while Automatic Satellite
Programme Recording is in progress.
●For timer programming of the satellite receiver, refer to the instruction
manual of the satellite receiver.
●Automatic Satellite Programme Recording is not possible if your
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.
●Just Clock (墌pg. 86) does not work when the Automatic Satellite
Programme Recording mode is engaged.
●You can also record a programme from your cable system in the
same way if the system has a timer.

the Automatic Satellite Programme Recording mode; otherwise,
the unit will start recording when the connected appliance’s power
