TIMER RECORDING (cont.)

Automatic Satellite

Programme

Recording

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 recorder’s AV2 (L-2) IN/DECODER connector and programme the timer on the satellite receiver. The recorder starts or stops recording by the signals input from the satellite receiver. After recording, the recorder’s power shuts off automatically.

ATTENTION

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

If you have connected another appliance other than a satellite receiver to the AV2 (L-2) IN/DECODER connector, be sure not to engage the Automatic Satellite Programme Recording mode; otherwise, the recorder will start recording when the connected appliance’s power is turned on.

Automatic Satellite Programme Recording and timer- recording cannot be done at the same time.

Before performing the following steps:

Make sure the satellite receiver is connected to the recorder’s AV2 (L-2) IN/DECODER connector. ( pg. 40, 41)

Programme the timer on the satellite receiver.

Insert a cassette with the safety tab in place.

A Select the L-2 SELECT mode.

Set “L-2 SELECT” to “A/V” or “SAT” ( pg. 37).

When you select “SAT”, refer to “IMPORTANT” on page 40.

B Set the tape speed.

Press SP/LP (p).

C Engage the Automatic Satellite Programme

Recording mode.

Press and hold SAT# for about 2 seconds. The button lights up and the recorder turns off automatically.

NOTES:

To disengage the Automatic Satellite Programme Recording mode, press SAT#. The button’s light goes off.

If the recorder’s power is off, it is not possible to engage the Automatic Satellite Programme Recording mode.

In step 3, if the SAT# button does not light but instead blinks quickly 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 “Express Timer Programming” ( pg. 30) 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.

The SAT# button blinks 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 recorder’s 1 button while Automatic Satellite Programme Recording is in progress turns off the recorder’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 tape speeds for each programme.

Depending on the type of satellite receiver, 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 Automatic Satellite Programme Recording mode when the satellite receiver’s power is on, the recorder will not start Automatic Satellite Programme Recording even though the SAT# button blinks. When the satellite receiver shuts off once and is turned back on again, the recorder starts recording.

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

The B.E.S.T. system ( pg. 27) does not work while Automatic Satellite Programme Recording is in progress.

Just Clock ( pg. 56) does not work when the Automatic Satellite Programme Recording mode is engaged.

When the Automatic Satellite Programme Recording mode is engaged, or the recorder’s power is turned off after Automatic Satellite Programme Recording is finished, the recorder will not enter the Timer mode even though “AUTO TIMER” is set to “ON”.

After Automatic Satellite Programme Recording, the number of recorded programmes will not be displayed on the front display panel for the Instant ReView function ( pg. 20).
