OPERATIONS ON VHS DECK (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 unit’s L-1 Input Connector (INPUT (L-1)) 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.

ATTENTION

●Be sure not to turn on the satellite receiver before the programme is executed; otherwise, the unit 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 L-1 Input Connector (INPUT (L-1)), be sure not to engage the Automatic Satellite Programme Recording mode; otherwise, the unit 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.
