ATTENTION

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

● If you have connected another appliance other than a satellite tuner to the AUDIO IN/VIDEO IN connectors, be sure to not 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 tuner. Connect a satellite tuner to the recorder's AUDIO IN/VIDEO IN connectors and programme the timer on the satellite tuner; the recorder starts recording when the signals input from the satellite tuner to the AUDIO IN/VIDEO IN connectors, and when there is no input signals the recorder stops recording and the power shuts off.

Before performing the following steps:

●Programme the timer on the satellite tuner.

●Insert a cassette with the safety tab in place.
