Engage Satellite Auto Recording standby mode

Press REC LINK.

The VCR turns off automatically and the REC LINK lamp lights (Satellite Auto Recording standby mode).

When signals come into the VCR from the DBS receiver, the VCR starts recording (the REC LINK lamp blinks), and stops recording and goes off when signals stop coming in.

•Each time you press the button, Satellite Auto Recording standby mode turns on and off. When it is off, the REC LINK lamp goes off.

IMPORTANT: Be sure not to turn on the DBS receiver before the program starts broadcasting; otherwise, the VCR will start recording when the DBS receiver is turned on.

NOTES:

●While the Satellite Auto Recording standby mode or after Satellite Auto Recording is finished, the VCR will not enter the timer recording standby mode even though “AUTO TIMER” is set to “ON”. ( pg. 40)

●If you turn off this VCR while Satellite Auto Recording is in progress, recording stops.

●Video Calibration ( pg. 40) does not work while Satellite Auto Recording is in progress.

●Auto Clock ( pg. 11) does not work while in the Satellite Auto Recording standby mode.

●The VCR may not record a short portion at the beginning of the program or may record slightly longer than the actual length of the program when Satellite Auto Recording method is used.

●If you engage the Satellite Auto Recording standby mode while the DBS receiver is turned on, the VCR will not start Satellite Auto Recording even though the REC LINK lamp blinks. When you turn off and on the DBS receiver once again, the VCR starts recording.

●If you have connected another component other than a DBS receiver (or cable box) to the AUDIO/VIDEO IN or S VIDEO IN (L-1) connectors, be sure not to engage the Satellite Auto Recording standby mode; otherwise, the VCR will start recording when the connected component is turned on.

●Satellite Auto Recording and timer-recording cannot be performed at the same time.

●If the REC LINK lamp does not light but blinks quickly in the Satellite Auto Recording standby mode (even though your DBS receiver is turned off), Satellite Auto Recording will not work properly.

If this is the case, perform “Express Timer Programing” ( pg. 34) to timer-record a satellite program.

(Some DBS receivers output signals even if the power is off. Satellite Auto Recording is not possible with those DBS receivers.)
