NOTES:

●To disengage the Satellite Auto Recording mode, press REC LINK. The “N” indicator goes off.

●If the unit’s power is off, it is not possible to engage the Satellite Auto Recording mode.

●In step C, if the “N” indicator does not light but instead blinks quickly even though your DBS receiver’s power is off, Satellite Auto Recording will not work properly with that DBS receiver*. If this is the case, perform “Express Timer Programing” ( pg. 36) 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.

●The “N” indicator blinks while Satellite Auto Recording is in progress.

●For timer programing of the DBS receiver, refer to the instruction manual of the DBS receiver.

●Satellite Auto Recording is not possible if your DBS receiver does not have a timer.

●Pressing the unit’s POWER (1) button while Satellite Auto Recording is in progress turns off the unit’s power and disengages the Satellite Auto Recording mode.

●If there are more than one satellite programs you wish to record with Satellite Auto Recording, it is not possible to set different tape speeds for each program.

●Depending on the type of DBS receiver, the unit may not record a slight portion of the beginning of the program or may record slightly longer than the actual length of the program.

●If you engage the Satellite Auto Recording mode when the DBS receiver’s power is on, the unit will not start Satellite Auto Recording even though the “N” and “#” indicators blink. When the DBS receiver shuts off once and is turned back on again, the unit starts recording.

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